4. MitosisMitosis is the process of cell division.Mitosis is split into four separate phases.
5. Mitosis: ProphaseThe chromatin in the nucleus condenses to form chromosomes.Pairs of centrioles move to opposite sides of the nucleus. Spindle fibers form a bridge between the ends of the cell.Nuclear envelope breaks down.
6. Mitosis: Metaphase Chromosomes line up along the center of the cell.Each chromosome attaches to a spindle fiber at its centromere.
7. Mitosis: AnaphaseCentromeres split.Two chromatids separate.One chromatid is drawn by its spindle fiber to one end of the cell, the other moves to the opposite end.The cell stretches out as opposite ends are pushed apart.
8. Mitosis: TelophaseChromosomes spread out and lose rod-like appearance. New nuclear envelope forms around each region of chromosomes.
9. CytokinesisCell membrane pinches in around middle of the cell, cytoplasm splits.Two new cells are formed.Each cell ends up with identical set of chromosomes and about half the organelles. In plants because of the cell wall, a cell plate is used during cytokinesis.
