  2. Prophase Metaphase Mitosis Mitosis is the process of cell division which results in the production of two daughter cells from a single cell, identical to one another and to the original parent cell. Mitosis can be divided into the following four principals stages. Anaphase Telophase Works Cited

  3. Prophase • Nucleoli disappear • Chromatin fibers become more tightly coiled • Each duplicated chromosome appears as two identical sister chromatids joined at the centromere • Mitotic spindle forms in the cytoplasm • Centrosomes move away from each other • Nuclear envelope fragments • Spindle fibers extend from each pole toward the equator of the cell • Kinetochore microtubules throw chromosomes into agitated motion • Nonkinetochore microtubules radiate from the poles toward the cells equator without attaching to chromosomes PICTURES DIAGRAM HOME

  4. Metaphase • Centrosomes at opposite poles of cell • Chromosomes convene on the metaphase plate • Centromeres of chromosomes align • Chromatids of each chromosome are attached to kinetochore microtubules of the spindle PICTURES DIAGRAM HOME

  5. Anaphase • Centromeres of each chromosome divide • Each chromatid is now a chromosome • Spindle moves the once- joined sisters toward opposite poles of the cell • Poles of the cell move farther apart • By the end, each pole has equivalent collections of chromosomes PICTURES DIAGRAM HOME

  6. Telophase • Daughter nuclei begins to form at the two poles • Nucleoli reappear and chromatin fiber becomes less tightly coiled • Two identical daughter cells follows shortly after mitosis with cytokenesis PICTURES DIAGRAM HOME

  11. Glossary • Mitotic spindle-specific group of spindle fibers used in the process of mitosis • Centrosomes- an organelle that serves as the main microtubule organizing center of the animal cell as well as a regulator of cell-cycle progression • Spindle Fibers-An aggregate of microtubules that move chromosomes during cell division. • Kinetochores- the protein structure on chromosomes where the spindle fibers attach during division to pull the chromosomes apart • Centromeres-a region of DNA typically found near the middle of a chromosome where two identical sister chromatids come in contact. It is involved in cell division as the point of mitotic spindle. • Cytokenesis- the process in which the cytoplasm of a single eukaryotic cell is divided to form two daughter cells
