Mitosis has four phases, we will go through each phase. When going through each phase we will cover two areas.
First, we will learn how to identify the phase by looking at it in both a diagram and an actual cell.
Secondly, we will learn what is happening in the cell during that time.
We will go through each cell and see what happens. At the end we will take a quiz.
Chromatin is DNA that is uncoiled and not wound around histone proteins. You cannot see chromatin with a light microscope. When we look at onion cells, we can see chromosomes, but not chromatin.
Why do you think the nucleus needs to break down?
The centrosomes are different between plant and animal cells. Animal cells have centrioles which are tube like structures made of the protein tubulin.
Spindle fibers will eventually act like cables to move the chromosomes around.
When spindle fiber forms comes on go back to phases slide.

Metaphase is one of the easier phases to identify. The chromosomes are lined up in the middle with each half positioned to go to opposite sides of the cell.
There are only two bullets here, then go back to phases slide.

Anaphase is the actual movement of the chromosomes to opposite sides of the cell. You can tell when the chromosomes are moving, because the spindle fibers are hooked to the middle of each chromosome so the tails of the chromosome trail behind. It looks like a V on its side with the bottom of the V going toward the outer part of the cell.

Telophase is the opposite of prophase. What is done during prophase is re-done in telophase. For example, in prophase the nucleus breaks down, in telophase the nucleus is re-formed. Can you give any other examples?

This slide shows an actual cell. Look at the slide and see if you can identify each of the four phases of mitosis in an actual cell. The tough one is metaphase. To identify metaphase you will need to look for the middle of the chromosomes and see if they are lined up in the middle of the cell. Don’t look at the legs, because they are flopped to the sides. I will give you a few minutes to decide which number corresponds to which phase and then I will call on some of you to see if we are correct.
Take out a blank sheet of paper.
Put your answers to the following questions on your blank sheet of paper.
When you are finished with a question, please put down you pen, so I can see when everyone is done with that question, before I move on to the next question.
