A diploid human cell contains 46 unreplicated chromosomes in early interphase. Remove the nuclear membrane from around the chromosomes in the nucleus of your cell. Spindle fibers are assembled from protein microtubules. Put spindle fibers in your cell using pieces of string and draw the centrioles on the paper at the appropriate points. Metaphase of Mitosis 1.
Homologous chromosomes are independent of one another.
Arrange your Triffle chromosomes across the center of the cell. Separate your sister chromatids to form daughter chromosomes. Daughter chromosomes are moved toward opposite poles by the spindle fibers. Chromatids are flexible. They do not remain rigid, but rather bend on each side of the centromere as they are dragged through the cytoplasm .
