How Does Mitosis Occur? Our chromosomes like to dance during Mitosis. Who likes to dance?

Mitosis Animation

What are the phases of the Cell Cycle? G1- Cells increase in size and synthesize new proteins and organelles. Cell

What are the phases of the Cell Cycle? S Phase- DNA (chromosomes) are replicated. Centromere Chromatid

What are the phases of the Cell Cycle? G2 Phase- Many of the molecules and organelles for cell division are produced. Centriole G1, S, and G2 Phases are collectively known as: Interphase

What are the phases of the Cell Cycle? M Phase- the cells undergo cell division. What does the “M” stands for? Mitosis The dance of the Chromosomes

Stages of Mitosis: Prophase : 1)The chromosomes become visible. 2)The centrioles separate and spindle fibers begin to form. 3)The nuclear membrane breaks down. Centriole Spindle Fibers Nuclear Membrane

Stages of Mitosis: Metaphase : 1)The chromosomes line up across the center of the cell. 2)Each chromosome is connected to a spindle fiber at the centromere.

Stages of Mitosis: Anaphase : The spindle fibers separate the chromatids into individual chromosomes and are they are moved apart.

Stages of Mitosis: Telophase : 1)The chromosomes gather at opposite ends of the cell. 2)Two new nuclear membranes form. 3)The chromosomes lose their distinct shapes.

Cytokinesis: The cytoplasm pinches and two cells are formed.

What is the end result of Mitosis? Chromosome Number? 46X + ParentDaughter Cell Is the genetic material of the daughter cells identical to the parent? The same number of chromosomes is maintained from one generation to the next. YES
