2. Mitosis

3. Interphase: the nucleus has a distinct boundary
and homogeneous texture
This model would be
better if it showed a
nuclear envelope
Centrioles in the
centrosome
Nucleolus
Chromatin

4. Prophase: the nuclear boundary disappears, the chromosomes become
visible and the spindle
apparatus forms
Centriole
Spindle apparatus
Chromosomes

5. Prophase: the chromosomes are visible but arranged in a random, circular
pattern
Centriole
Chromosomes
Spindle apparatus

6. Metaphase: the chromosomes align across the center of the cell
Centriole
Chromosomes
Spindle apparatus

7. Anaphase: two sets of chromosomes
Centriole
Chromosomes
Spindle apparatus

8. Anaphase: two sets of chromosomes - a cleavage furrow should NOT
typically be seen in this phase
Centriole
Chromosomes
Spindle apparatus

9. Telophase: two sets of chromosomes and a cleavage furrow
Centriole
Chromosomes
Spindle apparatus
Cleavage furrow

10. Daughter cells in Interphase: the nucleus has a distinct boundary
and homogeneous texture
This model would be
better if it showed a
nuclear envelope
