Study Notes

Mitosis - Anaphase

  • Chromosomes are separated and move to opposite poles.

Mitosis - Telophase

  • Nuclear membrane starts to reform
  • Chromosomes gather at opposite ends

Mitosis - Cytokinesis

  • Cytoplasm is pinched in half to create 2 identical daughter cells

Definitions

  • Cytokinesis = division of cytoplasm
  • Mitosis = division of the nucleus
