8.6 Cell division is a continuum of dynamic changes
Mitosis is divided into five phases: Prophase Prometaphase Metaphase Anaphase Telophase/Cytokinesis Cytokinesis is well underway by late telophase For the Cell Biology Video Myosin and Cytokinesis, go to Animation and Video Files.

Interphase In the cytoplasm Cytoplasmic contents double Two centrosomes form Animal cells have centrioles within the centrosomes, plants do not In the nucleus Chromosomes duplicate during the S phase 2 Nucleoli are visible Teaching Tips

8.6 Cell division is a continuum of dynamic changes
Prophase In the cytoplasm Microtubules begin to emerge from centrosomes, forming the spindle In the nucleus Chromosomes coil and become compact Nucleoli disappear

8.6 Cell division is a continuum of dynamic changes
Prometaphase Spindle microtubules reach chromosomes, where they Attach at kinetochores on the centromeres of sister chromatids Move chromosomes to the center of the cell through associated protein “motors” Other microtubules meet those from the opposite poles The nuclear envelope disappears Teaching Tips 1. Students might keep better track of the sequence of events in a cell cycle by simply memorizing the letters IPPMAT: the first letters of interphase, prophase, prometaphase, metaphase, anaphase, and telophase are represented in this acronym. 2. The authors note that animals, but not plants, have a pair of centrioles in their centrosomes. They add that the role of centrioles in cell division is a mystery. Students might not appreciate all that remains to be explained in biology. Sharing the existence of such mysteries with them promotes critical thinking skills and helps them imagine a place for themselves in future research.

8.6 Cell division is a continuum of dynamic changes
Anaphase Sister chromatids separate at the centromeres Daughter chromosomes are moved to opposite poles of the cell when kinetochore microtubules shorten The cell elongates due to lengthening of nonkinetochore microtubules Applying Your Knowledge By the end of anaphase, How many chromosomes are present in one cell? 92 (Once the sister chromatids separate, they are considered to be individual chromosomes.) How many chromatids are present in one cell? 0 Teaching Tips 1.
