2. Mitosis Mitosis is the process where the nucleus divides Stages:
Prophase
Metaphase
Anaphase
Telophase
“IPMAT”
Interphase includes G1,G2, and S of the cell cycle

3. Interphase
Replication of DNA (remember central Dogma of Genetics)

4. Prophase Chromosomes become visable, spindle begins to form (late)
Nuclear membrane dissinegrates

5. Metaphase
Chromosomes “line up” in the Middle

6. Anaphase
Separation of identical chromosomes produced in replication

7. Telophase
Two new nuclei formed after chromosomes have been pulled to the “poles”. Nuclear membrane reforms. Cleavage furrow (animals) or cell plate (plants) visable.

8. Cytokinesis “Splitting of Cytoplasm”
Not part of Mitosis (not part of nucleus)
Two identical (but smaller) cells result
