15 views3 pages

Document Summary

Daughter nuclei appear at 2 poles of cell as nuclear envelopes form around chromosomes. Reverse of prophase chromatin fibre of each chromosome uncoils, mitotic spindle disappears. Division of the cytoplasm, occurs along with telophase. Cleavage furrow forms and cell pinches into 2. Cytokinesis = division of cytoplasm into 2 cells, begins during telophase . Cleavage furrow appears = shallow indentation in cell surface. Cytoplasm has a ring of microfilaments (made of actin) Actin microfilaments interact with myosin, the ring contracts inwards & pinches shut. Cleavage furrow deepens and pinches the parent cell in 2. Membranous vesicles containing cell wall material collect at the middle of the parent cell. Vesicles fuse and form a membranous disc = cell plate. Cell plate grows outward, accumulating more cell wall materials. Membrane of cell plate fuses with plasma membrane, cell plate"s contents join parental cell wall. Results in 2 daughter cells each bounded by its own plasma membrane and cell wall.
