Mitosis involves four stages: prophase, metaphase, anaphase, and telophase.
Prophase: Chromatin condenses into visible chromosomes, nuclear envelope breaks down, and centrioles move towards opposite poles.
cell division
process by which a cell divides into 2 new cells
nucleus
control center of the cell
cell cycle
seriesofevents cells go through as they grow and divide
prophase
phase of chromosome condensation
metaphase
phase of alignment
anaphase
phase of separation
telophase
phase of nuclearformation
interphase
period of growth and dna replication between cell divisions
G1 Phase
cellincreases in size
S phase
replication of dna
G2 Phase
organelles double
cytokinesis
occurs at the end of mitosis
karyokinesis
process of nuclear division during mitosis
which phase do chromosomes first become visible?
prophase
chromosomes move to the middle of the spindle during what phase?
metaphase
meiosis
a type of cell division in sexually reproducing organisms that reduces the number of chromosomes in gametes (the sex cells, or egg and sperm). In humans, body (or somatic) cells are diploid, containing two sets of chromosomes (one from each parent).
