IPMAT
interphase
prophase
metaphase
telophase
first phase of interphase
G1 Cells grow in size. New proteins and organelles
are made.
second phase of interphase
synthesis DNA is replicated (known as chromatin).
third phase of interphase
G2 cell prepares for division
prophase
chromatin condense to form paired chromosomes.
nucleus disappears
cell membrane breaks down
centrioles move to each pole
metaphase
spindle fibers attach to centromeres
chromosomes line up at metaphase plate
anaphase
spindle fibers shorten
sister chromatids separate and move to opposite pole
telophase
cell membrane pinches inward
cytoplasm splits known as cytokinesis
difference between plant and animal cell divisions
animal cells membrane pinches inward forming daughter cells and plant cells forms a new cell wall forming daughter cells
