Prophase Chromatin condenses into chromosomes Chromatin condenses into chromosomes Nucleoli disappear Nucleoli disappear Duplicated chromosomes appear as 2 identical sister chromatids Duplicated chromosomes appear as 2 identical sister chromatids Mitotic spindle begins to form Mitotic spindle begins to form Centrosomes move away from each other toward opposite poles as spindle lengthens Centrosomes move away from each other toward opposite poles as spindle lengthens

13. Prometaphase Nuclear envelope fragments Nuclear envelope fragments Spindle invades nuclear area Spindle invades nuclear area Kinetochores of sister chromatids attach to spindle at the centromere Kinetochores of sister chromatids attach to spindle at the centromere

14. Metaphase Longest phase (~20 minutes) Longest phase (~20 minutes) Chromosomes arrange on metaphase plate Chromosomes arrange on metaphase plate

15. Anaphase Shortest phase Shortest phase Sister chromatids separate & move opposite poles as microtubules shorten Sister chromatids separate & move opposite poles as microtubules shorten

16. Telophase Daughter cell nuclei begin to form Daughter cell nuclei begin to form Nuclear envelope arises Nuclear envelope arises Chromosomes de-condense Chromosomes de-condense

25. Cell Cycle Control Each stage is triggered by specific molecular signals present in the cytoplasm Each stage is triggered by specific molecular signals present in the cytoplasm

Cell Cycle Control: external signals at checkpoints Density-dependant inhibition Crowded cells stop dividing Crowded cells stop dividing Determined by the amount of nutrients & growth factors available to cells Determined by the amount of nutrients & growth factors available to cells Anchorage dependance Cells must be attached to a substratum (culture dish or tissue matrix) in order to divide Cells must be attached to a substratum (culture dish or tissue matrix) in order to divide

35.
