Chromosome behaviour in mitosis
What this topic asks you to be able to do
- describe how chromosomes behave in plant and animal cells through the mitotic cell cycle, along with the related behaviour of the nuclear envelope, cell surface membrane and spindle (students are expected to name the main stages of mitosis: prophase, metaphase, anaphase and telophase)
- interpret microscope slides, photomicrographs and diagrams that show cells at various points in the mitotic cell cycle, and identify which main stage of mitosis each cell is in
