Cell Cycle • Cell Cycle = IMPAT • I = Interphase • MPAT= Stages of Mitosis
Mitosis • Interphase (stage before mitosis!) • G1 + S + G2 = Interphase • Cell grows, makes more cytoplasm and organelles duplicate, copies DNA, and gets ready to divide
Prophase • Chromosomes shorten & thicken • Centrioles move to opposite poles of the cell • Spindle fibers extend from the centrioles toward each chromosome • Nuclear membrane dissolves
Metaphase • During late prophase chromatids begin to move toward the cell equator (metaphase plate) • At metaphase the chromatids are aligned at the equator
Anaphase • Chromatids begin to move apart, toward opposite poles
Telophase • Chromosomes reach opposite poles of the cell • Spindle fibers dissolve • Nuclear membrane reforms at each end of the cell
Cytokinesis • Cytokinesis = splitting of the cytoplasm • Not an actual “phase of mitosis”. • The division of cytoplasm after separation of the chromosomes • In plant cells, a new cell wall forms to divide the two daughter cells (CELLPLATE) • In animal cells, the cleavage furrow forms
