Mitosis Comic Strip Learning Targets List the steps of mitosis and the main events in each phase. Explain the purpose of mitosis
The cell cycle begins with interphase. overview The cell cycle begins with interphase.
The cell cycle During G 1 phase of the Cell Cycle, the cell grows & all of the cell parts (except for the DNA) is duplicated.
The cell cycle During S phase of the Cell Cycle, the cell’s DNA is replicated (copied).
The cell cycle During G 2 phase of the Cell Cycle, the cell continues to grow. The cell also proofreads itself to check if everything is in good shape so that it can prepare for cell division (mitosis).
overview To make body cells, cells divide via mitosis. This type of cellular division produces identical cells.
overview The last stage of mitosis is called Cytokinesis. This is when the cell’s cytoplasm divides and 2 new identical cells are made.

Stages of mitosis Prophase DNA is compacted into chromosomes Nuclear envelope disappears Spindle fibers form
Nuclear envelope Spindle fibers Cell membrane chromosomes Prophase
Chromosomes line up in the middle of the cell Stages of mitosis Metaphase Chromosomes line up in the middle of the cell
Cell membrane chromosomes Spindle fibers Metaphase
Chromosomes are pulled apart by the spindle fibers Stages of mitosis Anaphase Chromosomes are pulled apart by the spindle fibers
Anaphase Sister chromatids or (chromosome) or (DNA) Spindle fibers Cell membrane Anaphase
Stages of mitosis Telophase Chromosomes start to unwind Nuclear envelope forms Spindle fibers break down
Telophase Cell membrane Spindle fibers pinch DNA pinch Nuclear envelope DNA Telophase
Stages of mitosis Cytokinesis Dividing of the cytoplasm 2 identical cells are made
Cytokinesis 2 (Identical) daughter cells Nuclear envelope DNA Cell membrane Cytokinesis
