    Mitosis

    Mitosis is the process by which cells divide. It occurs in five stages: prophase, metaphase, anaphase, telophase, and cytokinesis. During interphase, the cell prepares for division by growing and duplicating its DNA. In prophase, the DNA condenses into chromosomes. Metaphase aligns the chromosomes along the center of the cell. Anaphase separates the chromosome copies. Telophase reforms the nuclear membrane. Cytokinesis then divides the cytoplasmic contents into two daughter cells.

    Mitosis

    How cells divide

    Why do cells divide?


    1. So we can grow and
    get bigger
    2. To fix damaged or
    missing cells when we
    get hurt

    Phases of Mitosis
    -There are five stages
    during Mitosis, and
    one phase that occurs
    before, or in-between,
    the phases of Mitosis.
    -The in-between phase
    is called Interphase.

    Phases of Mitosis continued...


    -The five stages of Mitosis include
    a. Prophase,
    b. Metaphase
    c. Anaphase
    d. Telophase
    e. Cytokinesis
    -Some biologists do not include
    Cytokinesis in the stages of Mitosis since
    it is very similar to Telophase.

    cope

    Interphase
    -The cell is doing its normal
    thing; organelles are all
    doing their jobs.
    -Resting state between the
    process of cell division.

    Prophase
    -First part of Mitosis
    -The cell starts to prepare for cell division
    -The DNA uncoils and starts to look like
    spaghetti, then turns into chromosomes

    Metaphase
    -The second phase of Mitosis
    -The DNA lines up along a central
    axis and the centrioles send out
    specialized tubules that connect
    to the DNA. The DNA (chromatin)
    has now condensed into
    chromosomes.

    Anaphase
    -Third phase in Mitosis
    -The separation begins. Half of
    the chromosomes are pulled to
    one side of the cell; half go the
    other way.

    Telophase
    -The fourth phase of mitosis
    (sometimes considered to be
    the last phase).
    - Cell membrane starts to form
    between the cell

    Cytokinesis
    -The final stage in Mitosis
    -The cell divides its
    cytoplasm and pinches off
    into two separate but
    identical cells.

    Quiz Time!
    -Lets test your knowledge
    -When you see the following pictures, you
    need to be able to identify what phase it is

    Now tell me which phase


    I am describing

    -The DNA lines up along a central axis


    and the centrioles send out specialized
    tubules that connect to the DNA. The
    DNA (chromatin) has now condensed
    into chromosomes.
