Download Mitosis Bead Activity Continued

3 - G2 (Gap 2)
During Gap 2 the cell continues to grow and prepares for mitosis.
1. Describe how the cell would look during G2.
2. How many chromatids would the cell have during G2?
4 - PROPHASE
1. What happens to the nuclear envelope?
2. Are the chromosomes visible under a microscope?
5 - METAPHASE
During metaphase the spindle fibers pull
the chromosomes across the cell, until
they are arranged across the middle of the
cell.
1. Describe why it is important that the
chromosomes arrange across the middle
of the cell.
3. Describe what attaches to the chromosomes?
Then explain why you think these attach to the chromosomes.
4. Arrange your chromosomes on the table
and draw a picture of the cell.
6- ANAPHASE
2. Arrange your chromosomes on the table
and draw a picture of the cell.
7- TELOPHASE and CYTOKINESIS
During anaphase the spindle fibers pull
the chromosomes across to opposite ends of the cell
1. What are the spindle fibers attached to?
The chromosomes have moved to the edge
of each cell.
1. The __________________________
begins to form around the chromosomes.
2. What happens to the sister chromatids?
2. The division of the _______________
occurs. The organelles located in the
cytoplasm are divided between the two
cells.
3. In animal cells the _________________
pinches in to form two cells.
3. Arrange your chromosomes on the table and
draw a picture of the cell.
4. In plant cells a _____________________
forms that will eventually become a
cell wall.
5. Arrange your chromosomes and yarn on
on the table. Draw a picture of the almost
separated cells. Use a dotted line to
show the cell plate and membrane.
