Mitosis Flashcards
Mitosis
prophase, prometaphase, metaphase, anaphase, telophase, followed by cytokinesis
Mitosis: prophase
chromosomes are visibly separate, and each duplicated chromosome has 2 noticeable sister chromatids
Mitosis: prometaphase
nuclear envelope disappears, chromosomes begin to attach to the spindle thats forming along the axis of the cell
Mitosis: Metaphase
Begins with all the chromosomes aligning along the chromosome plate or the center of the cell
Mitosis: Anaphase
Begins when chromosomes start to separate, chromatids are considered separate chromosomes
Mitosis: Telophase
Chromosomes gather on either side of the now separating cell
Cytokinesis
After mitosis, the cell pinches in two, forming 2 identical cells
