Term

Mitosis is

Definition

process in cell division where the nucleus divides,consisting of 4 stages:

prophase,metaphase,anaphase,

telophase =2 new cells

asexual reproduction

Term

interphase has

three phases

Definition

G1:cells grow & make synthesize proteins


S (synthesis):chromosomes double & divideto make identical pairs(chromatids) held at the center by centromeres


G2:cells continue to grow & produce  proteins for cell division 

Term

Mitosis = prophase

 (4 events happen)

Definition

*chromosomes condense

*nuclear membrane disappears

*centrioles go to the opposite ends of the cell-these hold the spindle fibers that will grab the sister chromatides

*spindle fibers from & reach toward the center of the cell

Term
Mitosis = metaphase
Definition

-shortest part of mitosis

-chromosomes line up in the (middle) midline of the cell

-spindles fibers connect to the centromere (middle of chromatide) of the chromatide

Term
Mitosis = anaphase
Definition

-centromeres split apart 

-sister chromatids separate & become individual chromatids

-the separated chromatids move to opposite poles in the cell (sides)

Term
Mitosis = telophase
Definition

-chromosomes uncoil

-nuclear membrane start to from around the chromosomes

-spindle fibers start to disintegrate

-cytokinesis begins

Term
Mitosis = cytokinesis
Definition

dividing the cytoplasm

-the cell plate pinches the cell into two parts (plant)
