Cell Cycle & Mitosis

Chromosomes arrive at

the poles, two nuclear membranes reform, and cytokinesis begins

• Anaphase

• Metaphase

• Telophase

• Prophase

Chromosomes line up at the equator (middle) of the cell

• Anaphase

• Telophase

• Metaphase

• Prophase

Descirbe prophase

• Chromosomes become visible and nuclear membrane breaks down

• Chromosomes are duplicated and aligned at the equatorial plane

• Nuclear membrane reforms and chromosomes decondense

• Spindle fibers attach to the centromeres of chromosomes

What phase of the cell cycle is highlighted in pink?

• Interphase

• Cytokinesis

• Metaphase

• Anaphase

What phase is this cell in?

• Interphase

• Metaphase

• Cytokinesis

• Anaphase

A type of cell division that results in two identical nuclei

• Mitosis

• Meiosis

• Binary Fission

• Budding

Cell’s cytoplasm splits forming two identical cells

• Mitosis

• Cytokinesis

• Meiosis

• Binary Fission

Describe anaphase

• Chromosomes separate and move towards opposite poles

• Chromosomes align at the cell's equator

• Chromosomes are replicated in the nucleus

• Chromosomes condense and become visible

Consists of Gap 1 (G1), Synthesis (S) and Gap 2 (G2)

• Interphase

• Prophase

• Metaphase

• Telophase

Describe telophase

• Chromosomes arrive at the poles, two nuclear membranes reform, and cytokinesis begins

• Chromosomes condense and become visible, and the nuclear envelope breaks down

• Chromosomes align at the cell's equator, and spindle fibers attach to kinetochores

• Chromosomes are replicated, and the cell prepares for division
