In class we modeled each phase of Mitosis.

Interphase:

IMG_4377

Cell (and nucleus) in most of its life before Mitosis

IMG_4379

DNA is copied

 

Prophase:

IMG_4383

Nuclear membrane will start to disappear. Spindle fibers start to form.

 

 

Metaphase:

IMG_4384

Chromosomes line in center of cell. Spindle Fibers attach to Chromosomes.

Anaphase:

IMG_4387

Chromosomes are pulled apart by Spindle Fibers into opposite sides of the cell.

Telophase:

IMG_4388

Nuclear membrane forms around daughter nuclei. Cytokinesis begins

Cytokinesis takes place and the cells split
