mitosis

• what happens during cytokenesis?

  cytoplasm and cell membrane divide to form 2 separate cells (stage 6)
• what happens during telophase?

  membranes form around each of the sets of chromosome, these become nuclei of the 2 new cells (stage 5)
• what happens during anaphase?

  spindle fibres pull the chromosomes apart, chromatids pulled to opposite ends of the cell (stage 4)
• what happens during metaphase?

  the chromosomes line up at the centre of the cell (stage 3)
• what happens during prophase?

  the chromosomes condense, getting shorter and fatter, the membrane around nucleus breaks down and chromosome lies free in the cytoplasm (stage 2)
• what happens during interphase?

  the cell grows, DNA replicates and prepares for cell division (stage 1)
• what is produced at the end of mitosis?

  2 cells identical to the original cell
• what is produced in interphase?

  extra ribosomes, mitochondria, and other sub-cellular structures.
• chromosomes condense

  prophase
• chromosomes line-up along the middle of the cell

  metaphase
• the 2 sets of chromosomes are pulled to opposite ends of the cell

  anaphase
• the nucleus splits and 2 new nuclei form

  telophase
