The Cell Cycle. DNA has a Double helix shape. This is a naked strand of DNA. DNA wraps itself around proteins. DNA + protein is called Chromatin. Visible, compact chromatin makes up a Chromosome. As chromatin condenses…. it becomes. visible under a light microscope.

Naked DNA Chromatin Supercoils Chromosome This is another look at how DNA is packaged.
The three C’s that might confuse you. Centrosome Centrioles Centromeres
Centrosomes Nucleolus Nucleus The Cell in Interphase Cell membrane DNA “G1” stage Replicates (“S” stage) Cytoplasm Chromatin forms supercoils (“G2” stage)
Nucleolus disappears Chromosomes become visible The Cell in Early Prophase Chromatin condenses
The Cell in Late Prophase Nuclear envelope breaks down Centrosomes move apart Spindle fibers form
METAPHASE Spindle fibers attach to centromeres Chromosomes align in middle of the cell
METAPHASE Under the microscope, chromosomes may appear flat. In the cell however, chromosomes have a three-dimensional arrangement.
Sister Chromatids separate and move apart ANAPHASE “Free” spindle fibers lengthen; cell elongates Spindle microtubules disintegrate behind chromatids
TELOPHASE Daughter chromosomes reach centrosomes
CYTOKINESIS TELOPHASE Mitotic spindle disappears Cell divides into two identical daughter cells Nuclear membrane reforms Nucleoli reappear
