Anaphase

... there could definetely be a problem in chromosome2 due to presence of 2 centromeres. However the inactivity of one of the centromeres in the anaphase acts fortunate for us.

... a microtubule from one pole could attach to one centromere and a microtubule from the other pole would attach to the other centromere, so during anaphase in this scenario the chromosome would break. Fortunately for us one of the centromeres is no longer functional, and this doesn't happen. The ...

... questions about how cancer affects the cell cycle... 1) Does cancer actually speed up the individual phases of mitosis (prophase, metaphase, anaphase, telophase) ... ie metaphase occurs 100x sooner following prophase in a cancer cell compared to a normal cell? or does cancer just increase ...

... of a chromosome present after DNA and chromosome replication. So during metaphase the two halves of a copied chromosome are both chromatids. At anaphase these separate and become two new chromosomes. Bivalent: A chromosome that has duplicated to form two sister chromatids still held together ...

... extremely fascinating) and 46 daughter chromosomes go to one pole of the cell and the other 46 daughter chromosomes go to the other pole. DURING ANAPHASE YOU DO HAVE 92 CHROMOSOMES IN THE CELL. As the nuclear membranes form around the two daughter nucleus, each nucleus has 46 chromosomes within ...
