Microtubules are polymers of the protein tubulin; therefore, it is the mitotic spindle that is disrupted by these drugs. Without a functional mitotic spindle, the chromosomes will not be sorted or separated during mitosis.
The cell will arrest in mitosis and die. Division is not complete until the cell components have been apportioned and completely separated into the two daughter cells. Although the stages of mitosis are similar for most eukaryotes, the process of cytokinesis is quite different for eukaryotes that have cell walls, such as plant cells. In cells such as animal cells that lack cell walls, cytokinesis follows the onset of anaphase.
A contractile ring composed of actin filaments forms just inside the plasma membrane at the former metaphase plate. The actin filaments pull the equator of the cell inward, forming a fissure. The furrow deepens as the actin ring contracts, and eventually the membrane is cleaved to separate the two new cells.
In plant cells, a new cell wall must form between the daughter cells. During interphase, the Golgi apparatus accumulates enzymes, structural proteins, and glucose molecules prior to breaking into vesicles and dispersing throughout the dividing cell. During telophase, these Golgi vesicles are transported on microtubules to form a phragmoplast a vesicular structure at the metaphase plate.
There, the vesicles fuse and coalesce from the center toward the cell walls; this structure is called a cell plate. As more vesicles fuse, the cell plate enlarges until it merges with the cell walls at the periphery of the cell.
Enzymes use the glucose that has accumulated between the membrane layers to build a new cell wall. The Golgi membranes become parts of the plasma membrane on either side of the new cell wall. Consider the events of interphase and mitosis. What cell cycle events will be affected in a cell that produces mutated non-functional condensin proteins? If condensin is not functional, chromosomes are not packaged after DNA replication in the S phase of interphase.
It is likely that the proteins of the centromeric region, such as the kinetochore, would not form. Even if the mitotic spindle fibers could attach to the chromatids without packing, the chromosomes would not be sorted or separated during mitosis. John W.

After DNA replication copies the chromosomes during S phase, sister chromatids remain held together by cohesin proteins. These sisters are still "counted" as one chromosome, until they separate during anaphase of mitosis, which ensures that each of the two new cells inherits one copy sister chromatid of each chromosome.
If a cell has 10 chromosomes total , how many chromosomes will be present during metaphase of mitosis? During anaphase? In the two daughter cells? After telophase and cytokinesis, the new daughter cells will each have 10 chromosomes, which is identical to the parental cell. How many chromosomes and sister chromatids are present at each of the following stages: G 1 , G 2 , anaphase of mitosis, and after cytokinesis? Human cells have 23 pairs of chromosomes.
How many chromosomes are present during metaphase? In the cells that have completed mitosis? Learning Objectives List and describe the key events that occur during the cell cycle and mitosis. Describe the movement of chromosomes and chromatids during mitosis and the role of microtubules.
Determine the chromosome content of cells during various stages given information about the n or 2n number of the cell. The chromosome was treated to remove its histones. Paulson and U. Laemmli The solution to this challenge is: Duplicate each chromosome during the S phase of the cell cycle.
This produces dyads, each made up of 2 identical sister chromatids. These are held together by a ring of proteins called cohesin. Condense the chromosomes into a compact form. This requires ATP and protein complexes called condensins. Separate the sister chromatids and Distribute these equally between the two daughter cells. Cell Cycle The cell cycle is an ordered series of events involving cell growth and cell division that produces two new daughter cells.
During interphase, the cell grows and the nuclear DNA is duplicated. Other chapters in Help Me Understand Genetics. Genetics Home Reference has merged with MedlinePlus. Learn more. The information on this site should not be used as a substitute for professional medical care or advice.

Below is a table summarizing the chromosome and chromatid number during meiosis I in humans:. The second division of meiosis meiosis II appears similar to mitosis, with the only difference being that there are now half as many chromosomes as before.
During metaphase II, the chromosomes are lined up individually across the center of the cell. Due to the reduction division of meiosis I, there are now half as many chromosomes and chromatids as there were before.
When anaphase II begins, however, the sister chromatids split apart, which once again doubles the chromosome number:. A quick tip: notice that during the stages of meiosis and mitosis, the chromatid count never changes. Only the number of chromosomes changes by doubling during anaphase when sister chromatids are separated. During meiosis I, neither the chromosome number nor the chromatid number change until after telophase I is complete.

Biology Strategy A topic in biology that many students find challenging and is known to appear on the DAT is the number of chromosomes and chromatids present during the various stages of meiosis and mitosis in eukaryotes.
After the genetic material is duplicated and condenses during prophase of mitosis, there are still only 46 chromosomes — however, they exist in a structure that looks like an X shape: For clarity, one sister chromatid is shown in green, and the other blue.
Below is a table summarizing the chromosome and chromatid number during mitosis in humans: The chromosome and chromatid count during meiosis works a bit differently. Here, the homologous chromosome pairs have been color coded: When anaphase I begins, you may expect the chromosome number to change, but it does not. Visualized below: As you can see, the separation of homologous chromosomes does not change the chromosome number or the chromatid number.
Below is a table summarizing the chromosome and chromatid number during meiosis I in humans: The second division of meiosis meiosis II appears similar to mitosis, with the only difference being that there are now half as many chromosomes as before.
