Mitosis and Meiosis

• 5 phases of Mitosis and Meiosis

  •Interphase

  •Prophase

  •Metaphase

  •Anaphase

  •Telophase
• Prophase- The chromatin in the nucleus begins to shorten and thicken which is called chromatid and finally forming rod-like structures known as chromosomes
• Metaphase- The spindle is fully developed and the chromosomes begin to attach themselves to it
• Anaphase- The sister chromatid begins to separate and moves towards the poles
• Telophase- Start to uncoil and become indistinct under the light microscope.
• Cytokinesis- The division of the cytoplasm to form two separate daughter cells immediately after mitosis.
• Mitosis- produces two identical cells with the same number of chromosomes
