1
New cards
<p>Interphase</p>

Interphase

Cell grows, performs normal functions, copies its DNA

2
New cards
<p>Prophase</p>

Prophase

  • Chromosomes condense (shorten & thicken) and becomr visible

  • Spindle fibers emerge from centrosomes

  • Nuclear envelope breaks down + nucleolus disappears


Pro- = First

3
New cards
<p>Metaphase</p>

Metaphase

  • Spindle fibers are fully developed + centrosomes are at opposite poles of cell

  • Chromosomes line up at metaphase plate

  • Sister chromatids are attached to spindle fiber at opposite poles

Meta- = middle

4
New cards
<p>Anaphase</p>

Anaphase

  • Sister chromatids (now chromosomes) break down and are pulled toward opposite poles

  • Spindle fibers get longer and stretch out the cell

Ana- = up

5
New cards
<p>Telophase</p>

Telophase

  • Chromosomes go to the opposite poles and decondense

  • Nuclear envelope surrounds each set of chromosomes

  • Spindles break down

Telo- = end

6
New cards
<p>Cytokinesis</p>

Cytokinesis

  • Daughter cells separate

  • Cleabahe furrow forms

Cyto- = cell

-kinesis = movement
