1. Why do cells need their DNA to be condensed before dividing? 2. What is the reason that DNA is free flowing (like spaghetti) during interphase 3. Explain what histones are and what function they have with regards to DNA? 4. Which cells do not carry out mitosis? 5. In what phase would we see the following occur: a) Centromeres attaching to the spindle fibers- b) Complete set of identical chromosomes positioned at each pole - c) Sister chromatids pulling away from each other- d) Nuclear membrane dissolving- e) Nuclear membrane reappearing- f) Chromosomes aligning on the equator- g) Spindle fibers shortening - h) Centrioles move to the poles - 6. Briefly explain why the daughter cells resulting from mitosis have the identical genetic information as the original cell. 7. Describe how prophase and telophase are related using a T-chart..
