  • DNA replication occurs during the interphase of the cell cycle
  • Stages of cell division by mitosis :

    > interphase
    > prophase
    > metaphase
    > anaphase
    > telophase
  • Acronym for Cell division by mitosis ;

    > I
    > Peed
    > Marijuana
    > And
    > Tea
  • Mitotic phase includes mitosis and cytokinesis
  • cytokinesis is the process of cell division that separates a cell’s cytoplasm into two daughter cells
  • interphase-> each chromosome is copied to and from two sister chromatids
  • two sister chromatids are joined at the centromere
  • Prophase (1)
    • chromosomes condense , become visible in the nucleus
    • nucleolus disappears, nuclear membrane breaks down
  • Prophase (2)

    > pair of anticells move to either side of the cell
    > protein from spindle fibres attach to centromeres of each cell
  • Metaphase
    • Chromosomes line up equator of the cell
  • Anaphase
    • Centromeres divide into two , spindle fibres shorten .
    • Pull sister chromatids toward opposite side of the cell
  • Telophase
    • nuclear membrane reforms , nucleolus reappears
  • Eukaryotes divide through the cell cycle
  • Prokaryotes divide through binary fission
  • Prokaryotes replicate their DNA and split into two daughter cells that are identical
  • Binary Fission stage 1:

    DNA replication , circular DNA uncoils and duplicates once , plasmids duplicate multiple times.
  • Binary Fission stage 2:

    Cytoplasm extends , separating the two sets of DNA , each end receives one bacterial chromosome and equal amounts of plasmid
  • Binary fission stage 3:

    cytoplasm splits
  • binary fission stage 4:

    Cell fully splits , produces identical new cells
