Modeling Mitosis

Here are the 7 stages of the cell cycle

Stage 1 of the cell cycle is called the interphase. The interphase is also the longest stage of the cell cycle. The interphase is when a cell carries out various functions within the organism.

Stage 2 of the cell cycle is called the early prophase. what happens in the early prophase is that the replicated chromosomes coil up into x-shaped chromosomes. the nucleus will disappear.

Stage 3 of the cell cycle is called the late prophase. what happens here is that the spindle fibers complete forming and connect to the center of the chromosomes.

stage 4 of the cell cycle is called the metaphase. what happens in the metaphase is the all the chromosomes line up in a straight line across the middle from the pulling of the spindle fibers.

Stage 5 of the cell cycle is called the Anaphase. what happens in anaphase is that the spindle fibers pulls the centromeres apart.

the 6 stage of the cell cycle is called telophase. In the telophase, the spindle fibers start to disappear. And a membrane forms around each set of chromosomes.

Stage 7 of the cell cycle is called cytokinesis. what happens here is that the cytokinesis separated the 2 nuclei into two daughter cells. The two cells are identical to the original parent’s cells.

    Wow! Great work including pictures, captions, and descriptions of the complete process of mitosis. Your post is very effective in explaining how mitosis works. I love the format!

    Great work Jacob,
    I really liked how your format was easy to follow and the descriptions had great detail. Maybe consider adding to your post some details about the replication of DNA.
