Cell Cycle , Cell Divisiopn and Structure of Chromosomes

Question

(a) Given below is a diagram representing a stage during mitotic cell division in an animal cell

(i) Identify the above stage. Give a reason to support your answer.

(ii) Name the parts labelled 1, 2, 3 and 4.

(iii) What is the function of part 3 ?

(iv) Name the stage which comes just after the stage shown in the diagram. Draw a well-labelled diagram of this stage.

Answer

(i) Late prophase as the nuclear membrane is disappearing.
(ii)
1 - Asters
2 - Chromatids
3 -Centromere
4 - Spindle fibres
(iii) Centromere joins the two chromatids of the chromosome. The spindle fibres also attach to the centromere at the time of cell division.
(iv) Metaphase
