Why don’t adults look like six feet tall babies? Vocab Words: Mitosis, Chromosomes, Prophase, Metaphase, Anaphase and Telophase.

What is your pneumonic for PMAT What is your pneumonic for PMAT? Why does it make it easier for you to remember the stages of Mitosis? Vocab words: Centriole, Centromere, Spindle Fibers, Cytokenisis, Interphase, nuclear membrane, chromatid,

What is the difference between a chromatid and chromosome?

Mitosis is the part of the cell cycle during which the nucleus divides. The function of mitosis is to move the DNA and other materials in the parent cell into position for cell division.

Cytokinesis: the division of the parent cell's cytoplasm. Cytokinesis occurs immediately after mitosis.

Chromosomes are the DNA wrapped up into nice tight structure.

Steps of Mitosis Chromosomes form: Prophase Chromosomes line up: Metaphase Chromosomes separate: Anaphase Nuclei form: Telophase Cytokinesis
