1 This is how a cell copies itself
MITOSIS This is how a cell copies itself mkh

2 There are 5 phases to mitosis:
Interphase Prophase Metaphase Anaphase Telophase mkh

3 This is called a mother cell.
Interphase: DNA copies itself. This is called a mother cell. mkh

4 This cell is in interphase because you can’t see any chromosomes.
Cell membrane Nucleus This cell is in interphase because you can’t see any chromosomes. mkh

5 Chromosomes become visible as dark threads
Prophase: Chromosomes become visible as dark threads spindle fibers start to grow. mkh

6 This cell is in prophase because the chromosomes (dark areas) are now visible.
Cell membrane Chromosomes mkh

7 Chromosomes move to the center
Metaphase: Chromosomes move to the center mkh

8 Spindle fibers Chromosomes
This cell is in metaphase because the chromosomes are lined up in the center of the cell. The spindle fibers have grown longer to catch a chromosome. mkh

9 Spindle fibers shorten
Anaphase: Spindle fibers shorten Chromosome pairs come apart mkh

10 This cell is in anaphase
This cell is in anaphase. The spindle fibers are pulling the chromosome pairs apart. mkh

11 Chromosomes go to the ends of the cell.
Telophase: Chromosomes go to the ends of the cell. The cell forms two daughter cells. mkh

12 These cells are in telophase
These cells are in telophase. The cytoplasm is splitting to form the two daughter cells. mkh

13 Mother Cell DNA = Daughter Cell
mkh

14 The plant cell an animal cell
They both divide with the same phases mkh

15 Animal Plant Interphase mkh

16 Animal Plant Prophase mkh

17 Animal Plant Metaphase mkh

18 Animal Plant Anaphase mkh

19 Animal Plant Cell wall forming Telophase mkh
