Mitosis: Chromatids to Chromosomes - Answers

AI Thread Summary
Chromatids become chromosomes during Anaphase when kinetochores move along spindle fibers, separating double-stranded chromosomes and ensuring an equal distribution to each pole of the cell. Following this, in Telophase, the chromosomes unwind and lengthen, leading to Cytokinesis, which completes the cell division process. After Cytokinesis, the resulting daughter cells resemble cells that are just beginning Interphase, entering Gap 1, followed by Synthesis, Gap 2, and then Mitosis. This sequence aligns with the established order of the cell cycle phases.

In what phase to chromatids become chromosomes?

That would be Anaphase correct? The kinetochores travel up the spindle fibres after metaphase and separate the double stranded chromsomes. This results in an equal amount of identical chromosomes on each pole of the cell. These chromosomes unwind and lengthen in telophase and Cytokinesis occurs? - or has been occurring and ends.

Also, after Cytokinesis the new cells resemble cells that are "Just beginning Interphase", correct?

Gap 1, Synthesis, Gap 2, Mitosis, Gap 1 would begin and since the new cells resemble Interphase cells, Interphase is just beginning. This also seems consistant with the order.

Are my conclusions correct?, Thanks!

sounds correct to me.
 

Thread 'New Alzheimer's Treatment Clears Plaques From Brains of Mice Within Hours'

I've been reading a bunch of articles in this month's Scientific American on Alzheimer's and ran across this article in a web feed that I subscribe to. The SA articles that I've read so far have touched on issues with the blood-brain barrier but this appears to be a novel approach to the problem - fix the exit ramp and the brain clears out the plaques. https://www.sciencealert.com/new-alzheimers-treatment-clears-plaques-from-brains-of-mice-within-hours The original paper: Rapid amyloid-β...
