Modeling Mitosis

Interphase: It is the longest cell cycle stage, it is when the cell performs its normal functions and grows.

Stages of Mitosis: Mitosis is when the nucleus contents duplicates and divides into two new, equal parts.

Early Prophase – The nucleolus disappears and spindle fibres begin to form

Late Prophase – spindle fibres attach to centromeres of chromosomes

Metaphase – the chromosomes align on the equator of the cell

Anaphase – The spindle fibres being to pull sister chormatids to opposite poles of cell

Telophase – In the final stage, the spindle fibres disappears and a nuclear membrane form around each separated set of chromosomes.

Cytokinesis: This is the separation of the nuclei into two new daughter cells.

  1. Great work posting a picture of your edible DNA with what DNA is and what DNA does. You included a complete explanation of how DNA copies itself in your own words. Good job!
