1. MITOSIS

2. MITOSIS: An Introduction Mitosis eukaryotic two identical

3. REMEMBER! Interphase Prophase Metaphase Anaphase Telophase Cytokinesis IPMATC

4. Interphase: 46 Chromosomes

5. Prophase condenses same genetic information. opposite

6. PROPHASE

7. Metaphase nuclear membrane disappears Polar fibers extend randomly align angles equal forces polar fibers

8. Metaphase Animal Cell Plant Cell

9. Metaphase: Chromosomes align at middle of cell.

10. METAPHASE

11. Anaphase The sister chromatids now become separate daughter chromosomes, and are pulled apart by shortening kinetochores microtubules and move toward the respective centrosomes to which they are attached.

12. ANAPHASE

13. Anaphase: Separated chromosomes pulled apart.

14. Telophase In Telophase, the chromosomes are cordoned off into distinct new nuclei in the emerging daughter cells The polar fibers continue to lengthen. Nuclei (plural form of nucleus) begin to form at opposite poles. The nuclear envelopes of these nuclei are formed. Nucleoli also reappear. Chromatin fibers of chromosomes uncoil.

15. TELOPHASE

16. Telophase: Microtubules disappear, cell division begins.

17. Cytokinesis Cytokinesis division cytoplasm nuclear cell membrane tightened.

18. CYTOKINESIS

19. Cytokinesis The division of the cytoplasm. In animal cells, a Cleavage Furrow forms and separates Daughter Cells Cleavage furrow in a dividing f
