Question
Given below is a diagram representing a stage during mitotic cell division in an animal cell Examine it carefully and answer the questions which follow.
- Identify the stage. Give one reason in support of your answer.
- Name the cell organelle that forms the ‘aster’.
- Name the parts labelled 1, 2 and 3.
- Name the stage that follows the one shown above; how is that stage identified?
- Mention two differences between mitosis and meiosis with regards to:
- The number of daughter cells produced.
- The chromosome number in the daughter cells.

Solution
- Prophase: The nuclear membrane disappears.
- Centrioles
-
- Centromere
- Sister chromatids.
- Spindle fibre.
- Metaphase: The centromeres of chromosomes are drawn to the equator by the equal pull of two chromosomal spindle fibres that connect each centromere to the opposite poles.
forming a metaphasic plate. -
- Mitosis:
- Two daughter cells are produced.
- The number of chromosomes is the same as that of the parent cell.
- Meiosis:
- Four daughter cells are produced.
- Half the number of chromosomes as that of the parent cell.
- Mitosis:
