What are the 5 stages of Mitosis? |
Interphase Prophase Metaphase Anaphase Telophase |
|
|
What happens in Interphase? |
Cells prepare to divide, genetic material doubles, DNA replicates itself |
|
|
What happens in Prophase? |
Chromosomes pair up; thicken and shorten, become visible.
2 chromatids join by a centromere.
Centrioles move to opposite sides of the nucleus
Nucleolus disappears
Nuclear membrane disintegrates |
|
|
Metaphase? |
Chromosomes meet in the middle, arrange at the equator of the cell, become attached to a spindle fibre by centromere. Homogenous chromosomes do not associate |
|
|
Anaphase? |
Chromosomes get pulled apart, spindle fibres contract pulling chromatids to the opposite poles of the cell. |
|
|
Telophase? |
Chromosome uncoil, spindle fibres disintegrate, centrioles replicate, nuclear membrane divides. Cells divide. |

What is mitosis? |
Mitosis is the division of somatic (body) cells |
|
