Interphase • period of cell growth and metabolic activity • DNA is duplicated, but exists as chromatin • organelles have been replicated • G1, S, and G2subphases
Prophase • chromatin condenses and forms chromosomes • mitotic spindle (microtubules) forms from centrosomes • centrosomes contain centrioles in animal cells Prophase Interphase
Prometaphase • nuclear envelope breaks down • spindle fibers attach to chromosomes at a structure called a kinetochore - protein structure that assembles the centromere • spindle fibers begin to move chromosomes
Metaphase • chromosomes have been aligned in the middle of the cell (metaphase plate) • centromeres are lined up Metaphase
Anaphase • sister chromatids of each chromosome are separated • spindle fibers pull the sister chromatids apart • some spindle fibers act to elongate the cell Anaphase
Telophase • cell elongation continues • nuclear envelopes reform around each set of chromosomes • chromosomes uncoil • mitotic spindle disappears
Cytokinesis • division of the cytoplasm • two genetically identical daughter cells are formed • resulting daughter cells are diploid
Animal and Plant Cell Mitosis Animal Cell • have centrosomes and centrioleswhich generate the mitotic spindle • cell membrane pinches inward during cytokinesisdividing the two cells (cleavage furrow)
Animal and Plant Cell Mitosis Plant Cell • only have centrosomes • cell plate forms during cytokinesis • vesicles carrying cell membrane and wall components are transported to the midline - vesicles fuse forming the new cell membrane and wall
