The document summarizes the process of mitosis in eukaryotic cells. It describes the main phases of mitosis - interphase, prophase, prometaphase, metaphase, anaphase, telophase, and cytokinesis. During interphase, the cell prepares for division by growing and duplicating its DNA. The phases after involve the condensing and aligning of chromosomes, their separation into two identical sets, and the division of the cell cytoplasm and membrane to form two daughter cells each with their own nucleus.

1. MitosesThe reproduction of a cellBy Rachel Nickason

2. Interphase

3. InterphaseDuring this phase the cell is preparing for mitosis, The reproduction of a cell.Chromosomes are not yet visible, though the nucleolus very well could be.

4. Prophase

5. ProphaseThe chromosomes are now visible and they form an ‘X’ shape.The nucleolus disappears, and Spindle Fibres start to form.

6. Prometaphase

7. PrometaphaseThe Nuclear membrane dissolvesThe beginning of Prometaphase has started. Proteins attach to the centromeres making kinetochores.The chromosomes begin to move along the fully formed spindle fibres

8. Metaphase

9. MetaphaseSpindle Fibres conduct the chromosomes along the middle of the cell nucleus. This group helps ensure that in the next phase (Anaphase) The new nucleus will get a copy of each chromosome.*The Line of chromosomes Is also known as the metaphase plate

10. Anaphase

11. AnaphaseThe ‘X’ shaped chromosomes separate into two and move to opposite ends of the cell.

12. Telophase

13. Telophase A nucleolus forms around the chromosomes that have divided to the ends of the cells. A new membrane forms around the daughter cell’s nuclei, the chromosomes disappear and are no longer visible.The Spindle Fibres Also disappear during this phase.

14. Cytokinesis

15. CytokinesisCytokinesis happens when a fibre ring made of protein, contracts around the center of the cell pushing it into two daughter cells, each having one nuclease. Sourcehttp://www.biology.arizona.edu/Cell_bio/tutorials/cell_cycle/cells3.html
