Phases of Mitosis
| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| which part of cell division takes the longest to happen | Interphase |
| what happens in Interphase? | 1.lls grow mature2.makes copy of the DNA3.gets ready to divide in two |
| what happens in Prophase? | 1.chromatin turns into chromosomes2.spindle fibers for a bridge between ends of the cell3.nuclear membrane breaks down |
| what happens in Metaphase? | 1.chromosomes line up in the center of the cell2.chromosomes attatch to spindle fibers at the centromere |
| what happens in Anaphase? | 1.centromere spits2.two chromatids split3.chromosomes move to opposite sides of the cell |
| what happens in Telophase? | 1.chromosomes begin to stretch out and lose their rod-like look2.new nuclear membrane forms around each region of chromosomes |
| what happens in Cytokinesis? | 1.cell membrane pinches in around middle of the cell2.the cell pinches in two 3.daughter cells end up with same amounts od chromosomes |
| the cell cycle is divided into three main stages | 1.interphase2.mitosis3.cytokinesis |
