6. Interphase

7. Prophase

8. Anaphase

9. Metaphase

10. Telophase & Cytokinesis

11. During this phase… The cell will perform normal daily functions:
Growth
Replication of organelles
Replication of DNA
Photosynthesis &/or Cellular Respiration
Osmosis & Diffusion

12. During this phase…
Nuclear membrane is present but beginning to dissolve
DNA is in chromatin form
Centrioles move to opposite poles and begin to form spindle fibers

13. During this phase…
DNA is in chromatid/chromosome form
Sister chromatids are connected by centromeres
Sister chromatids are lined up along the middle of the cell

14. During this phase…
Centromere releases sister chromatids
Identical sister chromatids begin to move apart toward opposite poles

15. During this phase…
Chromosomes unwind to form chromatin
2 Chromatin bundles are located at opposite poles of the cell
New nuclear membranes form around each chromatin bundle

16. During this phase…
Cytoplasm and all other organelles are divided into 2 cells
Cell membrane pinches inward towards the other side
In a plant cell a cell plate is created as an early cell wall

17. Mitosis: This form of cellular reproduction is Asexual:
Requires 1 parent cell
Produces offspring cells identical to the parent cell
Occurs relatively quickly
The purpose of this form of cell reproduction:
Growth of the organism
Repair of injured tissues
Replacement of lost or damaged cells/tissues

18. Vocabulary Involved:

Chromatid
Centromere
Centriole
Cytoplasm
Daughter cell(s)
Nuclear membrane
Spindle Fiber
Sister chromatid
Chromatin
