Modeling Mitosis lab

Interphase:

During the Interphase the cell is replicating its DNA and getting ready to start the mitosis phases.

Prophase:

Prophase of mitosis is the first stage of mitosis. The prophase happens when the centrioles are formed and the chromatin is still stored in the nucleus.

Metaphase:

The nucleus dissolves and the chromatid turns too chromosomes and the centrioles pull certain chromosomes to create a vertical line in the middle of the cell called a mitotic spindle.

Anaphase:

During anaphase the sister chromatids are separated (the chromosomes are separated once again) and they are pulled by the centrioles to opposite sides of the cell.

Telophase:

During the telophase the a nuclear membrane is formed and the cells are starting to separate into 2 identical cells.

Cytokinesis:

Cytokinesis is the final step of mitosis this is when the cells finally separate into 2 identical cells. The cell pinches together along the middle (the equator) to separate.
