Mitosis Flashcards
Already copied DNA
Interphase
Chromosomes in the nucleus
Two connected copies = sister chromatids
Interphase
Two centrosome
Interphase
Chromosomes start to condense
Prophase
Mitotic spindle begins to form
Prophase
Nucleolus disappears
Prophase
Chromosomes condense more
Pro metaphase
Nuclear envelope breaks down releasing chromosomes
Pro-metaphase
Mitotic spindle grows more. Some microtubules start to ‘capture’ chromosomes
Pro-metaphase
Spindle captures all chromosomes and lined them up in the middle
Metaphase
Chromosomes align at metaphase plate
Metaphase
Spindle checkpoint
Metaphase
Sister chromatids separate from each other and are pulled to opposite ends of the cell
Anaphase
Mitotic spindle broken down into its building blocks
Telophase
Two new nuclei formed
Telophase
