2. Number of chromosomes
3. Example mass of chromosomes (assume each chromosome is 1 pg)
4. What are the centromeres doing?
5. What are the centrosomes doing?
6. What are the centrioles doing?
7. What are the kinetochore microtubules doing?
8. What are the non-kinetochore microtubules doing?
9. Does this phase have an important cyclin/cdk check point?
10. What are the sister chromatids doing?
11. What is the nucleus doing?
12. Are actin and myosin microfilaments involved?
