Modeling Mitosis

Interphase: Cell carries out normal functions while the DNA duplicates

Mitosis: Nucleus contents duplicated and divide into two equal parts, performed in 5 stages

Early Prophase- Nucleus membrane disappears and spindle fibres form

Late Prophase- Spindle fibres attach to centromeres of chromosomes

Metaphase- Chromosomes align on equator of cell

Anaphase- spindle fibres pull sister chromatids to opposite poles of the cell

Telophase- Spindle fibres disappear and nuclear membrane forms around each separated set of chromosomes

Cytokinesis: Separation of two nuclei and cell contents with two daughter cells

One thought on “Modeling Mitosis”

  1. Great work including pictures, captions, and descriptions of the complete process of mitosis. Your post is very effective in explaining how mitosis works.
