Mitosis and Meiosis

?
Name the mnemonic to remember the steps of Mitosis
IPMAT
1 of 11
What does the I in IPMAT stand for and do?
Interphase - At the end of interphase chromosomes start to become visible. DNA has already been copied
2 of 11
What does the P in IPMAT stand for and do?
Prophase - Each chromosome consists of two chromatids
3 of 11
What does the M in IPMAT stand for and do?
Metaphase - The nuclear membrane breaks down. Chromosomes start to line up along the middle of the cell
4 of 11
What does the A in IPMAT stand for and do?
Anaphase - The chromatids separate and one chromatid from each pair is pulled to each pole of the cell. The chromatids can now be called chromosomes
5 of 11
What does the T in IPMAT stand for and do?
Telephase - Spindle fibres disappear and a new nuclear membrane forms round each group of chromosomes.
6 of 11
What is it called when the cell splits into two
Cytokinesis
7 of 11
What type of cells are formed by Mitosis
Body Cells
8 of 11
How many chromosomes do Body Cells have?
46 chromosomes
9 of 11
How many phases in mitosis
5 phases
10 of 11
