2. 

Are made of DNA
Each chromosome consists of sister chromatids
attached at a centromere

3. 


Mitosis is a process of cell
division
Goal = production of 2
daughter cells.
The daughter cells are
identical to one another
and to the original parent
cell.

4. 



Cells divide for growth or
repair.
Before each division, the
cell makes an identical
copy of each chromosome
During mitosis, each of
the two new cells receives
a complete set of 46
chromosomes.
Identical meaning it has
the same info.

5. The easiest way to remember Mitoses is PMAT.
 Interphase
 Prophase
 Metaphase
 Anaphase
 Telophase

7. 


Longest phase of
mitosis
Nuclear envelope &
nucleolus
disappears.
Chromosomes
become visible.

8. 

Centrioles (animal
cell) form and move
to opposite poles of
cell
Spindle fibers form
from centrioles,
cross cell and attach
to the chromosomes.

9. 

Chromosomes
line up in the
middle of the cell.
Spindles are
attached to them.

10. 


Spindle fibers begin
to shorten.
This pulls
chromosomes apart.
Chromosome halves
are now referred to
as chromatids.

11. 



Chromatids reach
poles.
Chromosomes
become chromatin.
Spindle fibers break
down.
Nucleolus and
nuclear envelope
appear.

12. 

Division of
cytoplasm
In animal cells: cell
membrane continues
to pinch in until two
cells are formed

13. 

In plant cells: cell
plate forms in center
of cell and
eventually splits
cells
At the end of
mitosis, two new
“daughter” cells are
produced.
