Prometaphase

Metaphase

Anaphase

Telophase

Chromosomes line up at the metaphase plate

Centrosomes are at opposite poles

Microtubules are attached to each kinetochore

Nuclear envelope fragments

One parent cell finishes separating into two daughter cells

At the end of the G1 phase of interphase.

It checks for completion of DNA replication.

It checks for DNA damage.

It allows the cell to proceed to mitosis if conditions are met.

It checks for microtubule attachment to chromosomes.

Cyclin concentration varies during the cell cycle.

Cyclins are only synthesized during mitosis.

Cyclins are never degraded.

Cyclins are enzymes.

Cyclin D

Cyclin E

Cyclin A

Cyclin B

They follow checkpoints

They divide infinitely in culture

They evade apoptosis

They are considered 'immortal'
