Mitosis And Meiosis

Front 1

Mitosis

Back 1

The way body cells divide to create identical cells that are clones (also called copying division).

Front 2

Meiosis

Back 2

The way sex cells divide to create new cells that are NOT the same as the original cell.

Front 3

Chromosome

Back 3

Thread-like structure in cells that carry genetic information.

Front 4

Centrosome

Back 4

The area that forms around the centrioles.

Front 5

Centrioles

Back 5

The "T"-like shape that forms in centrosomes and what the spindle fibers are connected to.

Front 6

Nuclear membrane

Back 6

The area that protects the nucleus.

Front 7

Spindle Fibers

Back 7

They form a protein structure that divides the genetic material in the cell.

Front 8

Interphase

Back 8

This is the phase of the cell cycle in which a typical cell spends most of its life. During this phase, the cell copies its DNA in preparation for mitosis. Starts with one cell.

Front 9

Prophase

Back 9

The phase of the cell cycle when chromosomes become visible and the nucleolus and nuclear membrane starts to disappears. Chromosomes pair up.

Front 10

Metaphase

Back 10

This is the third phase of mitosis. In this phase, the chromosomes line up in the middle of the cell in the spindle fibers.

Front 11

Anaphase

Back 11

This is the fourth stage of mitosis. In this phase, the duplicated genetic material get seperated ( chromosomes are pulled apart).

Front 12

Telophase

Back 12

The phase when chromosome sets assemble at the end of each pole as nuclear membrane starts to reform around them.

Front 13

CytoKinesis

Back 13

This is the physical process of cell division, which divides the cytoplasm of the parental cell into 2 daughter cells.
