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.
