MITOSIS This is how a cell copies itself mkh

There are 5 phases to mitosis: Interphase Prophase Metaphase Anaphase Telophase mkh

There are 5 phases to mitosis: Interphase Prophase Metaphase Anaphase Telophase mkh

Interphase: DNA copies itself. This is called a mother cell. mkh

Interphase: DNA copies itself. This is called a mother cell. mkh

Cell membrane Nucleus This cell is in interphase because you can’t see mkh any

Cell membrane Nucleus This cell is in interphase because you can’t see mkh any chromosomes.

Prophase: Chromosomes become visible as dark threads spindle fibers start to grow. mkh

Prophase: Chromosomes become visible as dark threads spindle fibers start to grow. mkh

This cell is in prophase because the chromosomes (dark areas) are now visible. Cell

This cell is in prophase because the chromosomes (dark areas) are now visible. Cell membrane Chromosomes mkh

Metaphase: Chromosomes move to the center mkh

Metaphase: Chromosomes move to the center mkh

Spindle fibers Chromosomes This cell is in metaphase because the chromosomes are lined up

Spindle fibers Chromosomes This cell is in metaphase because the chromosomes are lined up in the center of the cell. The spindle fibers have grown longer to catch a chromosome. mkh

Anaphase: Spindle fibers shorten Chromosome pairs come apart mkh

Anaphase: Spindle fibers shorten Chromosome pairs come apart mkh

This cell is in anaphase. The spindle fibers are pulling the chromosome pairs apart.

This cell is in anaphase. The spindle fibers are pulling the chromosome pairs apart. mkh

Telophase: Chromosomes go to the ends of the cell. The cell forms two daughter

Telophase: Chromosomes go to the ends of the cell. The cell forms two daughter cells. mkh

These cells are in telophase. The cytoplasm is splitting to form the two daughter

These cells are in telophase. The cytoplasm is splitting to form the two daughter cells. mkh

Mother Cell DNA = Daughter Cell DNA mkh

Mother Cell DNA = Daughter Cell DNA mkh
