grayfalcon89 Posted February 8, 2005 Share Posted February 8, 2005 Just confirmation: Mitosis consists of four steps Prophase - Where DNA's getting packed Metaphase - Where DNA's beginning to cluster in the center Anaphase - Where cells start the separation. Telephase - Where cell is completely divided into two cells, each with one complete set of DNA. And there is this Interphase, where it is between Telephase and Prophase, where normal cell function occurs and DNA is replicated. Also, X-shaped (even Y-shaped) are made up of two identical parts called chromatids. Each chromatid is a complete set of DNA. In the center is that circly thing called Centromere that joins two. On that Centromere is those spikes call the Kinetochore. I'm not sure about last part. So, help me on this please! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

muhali3 Posted February 8, 2005 Share Posted February 8, 2005 There are also spindle fibers, or something like that, that hold the chromosomes apart during the metaphase. I think.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
