New cards

Interphase (first)

Longest part of the cell cycle
Chromosomes copied, appear as threadlike coils at the start, then each chromosome and its copy change to sister chromatids at the end of phase

New cards

Prophase (beginning)

Mitosis begins; centrioles appear and begin to move to opposite ends of cell; spindle fibers form between the poles.
Longest phase of mitosis.

<p><b>Mitosis begins</b>; centrioles appear and begin to move to opposite ends of cell; spindle fibers form between the poles.<br>Longest phase of mitosis.</p>

New cards

Metaphase

Shortest phase of mitosis.
Chromatids attach to spindle fibers; chromosomes line in middle of cell

<p>Shortest phase of mitosis.<br>Chromatids attach to <b>spindle fibers</b>; chromosomes line in <b>middle</b> of cell</p>

New cards

Anaphase

Chromatids separate, begin to move to opposite ends, pulled by the spindle fibers

<p><b>Chromatids separate</b>, begin to move to opposite ends, pulled by the spindle fibers</p>

New cards

Telophase (penultimate)

Cell membrane moves inward to create two daughter cells - each with own nucleus with identical chromosomes.

Cytokinesis (ending)

Two new nuclei form, chromosomes appear as chromatin, mitosis ends

<p><b>Two new nuclei</b> form, chromosomes appear as chromatin, <b>mitosis ends</b></p>

Mitosis

Cell division when nucleus divides into two nuclei containing the same number of chromosomes ending in 2 identical cells
