1. MITOSIS

2. MITOSIS: An Introduction
 Mitosis
eukaryotic
two
identical

3. REMEMBER!
Interphase
Prophase
Metaphase
Anaphase
Telophase
Cytokinesis
IPMATC

4. Interphase:
46 Chromosomes

5. Prophase
condenses
same genetic
information.
opposite

6. PROPHASE

7. Metaphase
nuclear membrane disappears
Polar fibers extend
randomly
align
angles
equal forces polar fibers

8. Metaphase
Animal Cell Plant Cell

9. Metaphase:
Chromosomes
align at middle of
cell.

10. METAPHASE

11. Anaphase
The sister chromatids now become
separate daughter
chromosomes, and are pulled
apart by shortening kinetochores
microtubules and move toward the
respective centrosomes to which
they are attached.

12. ANAPHASE

13. Anaphase:
Separated
chromosomes
pulled apart.

14. Telophase
In Telophase, the chromosomes are
cordoned off into distinct new nuclei in the
emerging daughter cells
The polar fibers continue to lengthen.
Nuclei (plural form of nucleus) begin to
form at opposite poles.
The nuclear envelopes of these nuclei
are formed. Nucleoli also reappear.
Chromatin fibers of chromosomes
uncoil.

15. TELOPHASE

16. Telophase:
Microtubules
disappear, cell
division begins.

17. Cytokinesis
Cytokinesis division
cytoplasm

cell membrane
tightened.

18. CYTOKINESIS

19. Cytokinesis
•The division of the
cytoplasm.
•In animal cells, a Cleavage
Furrow forms and separates
Daughter Cells
Cleavage furrow in a dividing f
