1. Asexual Reproduction Mitosis
Mitosis is the process in which the nucleus divides to form two new nuclei. How does mitosis differ in plants and animals?

3. Interphase occurs before mitosis begins
Chromosomes are copied and are doubled
Chromosomes appear as threadlike coils called chromatin.
Each chromosome and its copy(sister chromosome) change to sister chromatids at end of this phase .

5. Prophase 1st step in Mitosis
Mitosis begins-cell begins to divide.
Centrioles (or poles) appear, in animals ONLY, and begin to move to opposite ends of the cell.
Spindle fibers form between the poles.
Centrioles
Sister chromatids
Spindle fibers

6. Prophase Plant Cell Animal Cell Spindle fibers
Photographs from:

7. Metaphase 2nd step in Mitosis
Chromatids (or pairs of chromosomes) attach to the spindle fibers.

9. Anaphase 3rd step in Mitosis
Chromatids (or pairs of chromosomes) separate and begin to move to opposite ends of the cell.
Centrioles
Spindle fibers

10. Anaphase Plant Cell Animal Cell
Photographs from:

11. Telophase 4th step in Mitosis
Two new nuclei form.
Spindle fibers disappear
Cell Plate appears between the new nuclei in PLANT CELLS ONLY.
Mitosis ends.

13. Cytokinesis occurs after mitosis
Cell membrane moves inward to create two daughter cells – each with its own nucleus with identical chromosomes.
Only in Animal Cells.
