Metaphase
Anaphase
Telophase
Slide 16
Cells Undergoing Mitosis
Slide 17
DNA coils tightly & becomes visible as chromosomes
Nuclear membrane disappears
Nuceolus disappears
Centrioles migrate to poles
Spindle begins to form
Slide 18
Prophase
Slide 19
Eukaryotic Chromosome
Slide 20
Human Chromosomes
Slide 21
Spindle fibers from centrioles attach to each chromosome
Cell preparing to separate its chromosomes
Cell aligns its chromosomes in the middle of the cell
Slide 22
Metaphase
Slide 23
Cell chromosomes are separated
Spindle fibers shorten so chromosomes pulled to ends of cell
Slide 24
Mitotic Spindle
Slide 25
Anaphase
Slide 26
Separation of chromosomes completed
Cell Plate forms (plants)
Cleavage furrow forms(animals)
Nucleus & nucleolus reform
Chromosomes uncoil
Slide 27
Telophase
Plant
Animal
Slide 28
Cytokinesis
Occurs after chromosomes separate
Forms two, identical daughter cells
Slide 29
Cytokinesis
Cell Plate Forming in Plant Cells
