Mitosis Flashcards
Interphase consists of
G1, S, and G2 phases
G1
Cell size increases, protein synthesis
S phase
DNA replication
G2 phase
More growth and protein synthesis
Mitosis starts with
Prophase, metaphase, anaphase, telophase, cytokinesis
Interphase
Clear nucleolus visible (dot visible). DNA in the form of chromatin. DNA duplicated. Centriole pairs visible
Prophase
Chromatin condenses (sister chromatids visible). nucleolus disappears. Mitotic spindles form. Centrioles separate. Nuclear envelope fragments 
Metaphase
Sister chromatids align in the middle, or on the equator
Anaphase
Sister chromatids separate. Daughter chromosomes 2 opposite sides. Sell elongates.
Telophase
On opposite ends, nuclear envelope forms. Cleavage furrow still present. The final stage of mitosis, right before the cytoplasm finishes dividing
Cytokinesis
Cleavage furrow finally forms. Division of the cytoplasm
