2. I. Chromatid Movements
A. During mitosis, chromatids on each chromosome are physically moved.
B. Spindles
1. Made up of centrioles (animals only) & the microtubule fibers
2. The whole region is called the centrosome & it will help to organize the movement of chromosomes

3. 1. Centriole pairs replicate during G2
C. Forming the Spindle
1. Centriole pairs replicate during G2
2. At beginning of mitosis the pairs of centrioles move to opposite sides of cell
3. Spindle fibers form as they move
4. Microtubule fibers of spindle attach to the centromeres of the chromosomes

4. Spindle Forming
Centriole
(Animals only)
Chromosomes

5. D. Separating Chromatids
1. Microtubules start to “reel in” the chromatids, dragging them to opposite poles of the cell
2. Once the two chromatids separate from each other, they are considered to be individual chromosomes.
***HINT: Count chromosomes by counting the # of centromeres

6. Chromatids Separating

7. II. Mitosis
A. Division of nucleus into two nuclei, each with a complete set of chromosomes
B. Consists of 4 phases:
1. Prophase
a. Chromosomes become visible
b. Nuclear envelope disappears
c. Spindle forms

8. Prophase
Chromosomes

9. a. Chromosomes line up at the equator of cell b. Spindle fibers attach
2. Metaphase
a. Chromosomes line up at the equator of cell
b. Spindle fibers attach

10. b. Sister chromatids move to opposite poles
3. Anaphase
a. Centromeres divide
b. Sister chromatids move to opposite poles
Individual chromosomes – single stranded

11. a. Nuclear envelope reforms b. Chromosomes uncoil
4. Telophase
a. Nuclear envelope reforms
b. Chromosomes uncoil
c. Spindle disappears

12. III. Cytokinesis
A. Cytoplasm divides in half, forming two separate cells
B. Different in animals from plants:
1. Animal cell membrane pinched in half by belt of proteins
2. Plant cells need to grow a new wall:
a. Vesicles from Golgi fuse at midline & form a cell plate that grows to divide the cell

13. Animal Cell Cytokinesis

14. Plant Cell Cytokinesis

15. IV. End Results A. Two daughter cells about equal in size
B. Each new cell has:
1. A complete set of chromosomes that are identical to original cell’s
2. Half of the original cell’s cytoplasm & organelles
