Phases of Mitosis
Includes interphase and cytokinesis
| Term. | Definition |
|---|---|
| Prophase | Chromosomes become visible and are attached by centromere Centrioles move to opposite poles Nuclear membrane/envelope breaks down Spindle fibers attach to centromere |
| Metaphase | Chromosomes align in the middle of the cells Centromere divides |
| Anaphase | Chromosomes to pull away and migrate to opposite poles |
| Telophase | Chromosomes arrive at opposite poles of cell Nuclear membrane reforms Spindle fibers dissolve Cytokinesis begins |
| Interphase | Cells spend most of their time here . Includes G1, S, & G2 phases. Here dna replicates, organelles are formed, & proteins are synthesized. |
| Interphase G0 | Chromosomes not clearly discerned in the nucleus. The cell may contain a pair of centrioles both of which are organizational sites for microtubules. |
| How many daughter cells are produced in mitosis? | Two identical diploid cells |
| Purpose of mitosis | To replace dead and dying cells for maintenance of bodily functions |
| Outcomes of mitosis? | Occurs in non sex cells PMAT occurs 1 time Yields 2 genetically identical cells |
