|
|
Mitosis : Interphase |
The cell carries out all of life's functions, Removes waste, Duplicates strands of DNA |
|
|
|
Mitosis : Prophase |
Nuclear membrane breaks down, spindle fibres form, DNA compacts into chromosomes |
|
|
|
Mitosis : Metaphase |
Chromosomes line up in the middle , Attached to spindle fibres |
|
|
|
Mitosis : Anaphase |
Centromere Splitz, Sister chromatids split, pulled by spindle fibres, to opposite sides of the cell |
|
|
|
Mitosis : Telophase |
A new nuclear membrane forms Spindle fibres break down Chromatids thin out |
|
|
|
Mitosis: Cytokinesis |
Cytoplasm Divides Cell Membrane pinches off in the middle |
