Why must cells divide? • Allow for efficient transport • Growth, development, and repair of multicellular organisms • Reproduction of unicellular organisms

What 2 processes maintain homeostasis in terms of cell number? • Division • Apoptosis (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6KVQzYO_2tY)
Interphase • DNA in chromatin form • Nuclear envelope in tact • Inactive centriole • Carrying out normal function
Prophase • Nuclear envelope breaks down • Chromatin condenses into chromosomes • Centrioles move to poles and begin making spindle fibers (aster)
Metaphase • Chromosomes line up at “metaphase plate” • Spindle fibers attach to centromere of chromosome
Anaphase • Spindle fiber shorten and pull apart the sister chromatids • Sister chromatids move to opposite poles of cell becoming daughter chromosomes
Telophase • Chromosomes decondense to chromatin • Nuclear envelope reforms • Spindle fibers break down • Cytokinesis begins
End Product • 2 daughter cells with identical chromosome number
