Mitosis

Mitosis

1. Prophase: DNA condenses and gets organized into chromosomes (organize in pairs)

   • Nucleolus disappears
   • Nuclear Membrane disappears
   • Centrioles (made of microtubules) form spindle fibers

2. DNA dupicates and two daughter cells have an exact copy of all the chromosome of parent cell

3. Metaphase: Shortest phase

   • Chromatids line up at middle. of cell.
   • Spindle Fibers atatch at centromere

4. Telophase: Near final splitting off of cell

   • Nuceoli reform
   • Identical Nuclear Membranes reforms

5. Anaphase: Spindle Fibers pull sister chromatids apart

   • One copy of each go to each pole
   • One exact copy of each chromosome made

6. Interphase: "Normal/Resting State"

   • Getting ready for next divison
   • Duplicates Nucleic Acids

7. Cytokinesis: Splitting of cytoplasm

   • Happens at same time as Telophase
   • Cell Membrane pinches → make two separate cells
