Explore the stages of mitosis where cells divide and reproduce, derived from cell theory that all living things are made of cells and cells come from pre-existing cells. Learn about the process in high school biology.

Cell Theory • All living things are made of cells. • Cells are the basic unit of life. • Cells come from other cells. Schwann – animal cells 1839 Schleiden – plant cells 1839 Virchow – cell come from pre-existing cells 1855
This process of division is called Mitosis. It occurs in multiple stages or phases. You will learn the details of this process in high school biology. • However, today, we are observing cells that are going through different stages of the reproductive process called Mitosis.

INTERPHASE PROPHASE METAPHASE ANAPHASE TELOPHASE CYTOKINESIS Normal Cell Activities – DNA in chromosomes is copied at end of stage Chromosomes thicken and become visible. (getting ready to divide) Chromosomes line up in middle of cell (in pairs – sister chromatids) Chromatids pull apart – half go to each side Nuclear membrane forms around both ends of chromatids. Cell membrane separates into two new cells.
