Flashcards
Interphase (DNA Replication)
Interphase (DNA Replication)
The stage where the cell's DNA is copied, resulting in two identical copies of each chromosome.
Prophase
Prophase
The first stage of mitosis where the nuclear envelope breaks down, the DNA condenses into chromosomes, and the mitotic spindle forms.
Metaphase
Metaphase
The stage of mitosis where chromosomes line up in the middle of the cell, attached to the spindle fibers.

Study Notes
Cell Cycle: Mitosis
-
Interphase: DNA replicates, packaging into chromosomes.
-
Prophase:
- Nuclear envelope breaks down.
- Chromosomes condense.
- Mitotic spindle forms.
-
Metaphase:
- Chromosomes align at the metaphase plate.
- Spindle fibers attach to chromosomes.
- Centrioles play a role.
-
Anaphase:
- Centromeres divide, separating sister chromatids.
- Spindle fibers pull chromatids to opposite poles.
- Daughter cells receive identical chromosomes to the parent cell.
- Spindle fibers separate chromosomes.
-
Telophase:
- Nuclear envelope reforms.
- Mitotic spindle breaks down.
- Chromosomes unwind.
-
Cytokinesis:
- Cell membrane divides, creating two daughter cells.
- Cytoplasm and organelles are divided.
