MITOSIS

INTERPHASE

• The cell spends most of the time in this phase
• This the resting phase
• G1
• S
• G2

G1 PHASE

• Cytoplasm Doubles
• Cell grows
• Performs normal functions

S PHASE

• S stands for Synthesis
• DNA is replicated

G2 PHASE

• Gap 2
• Cell prepares for mitosis
• Makes any repairs if needed

MITOSIS

• Prophase
• Metaphase
• Anaphase

PROPHASE

• Nuclear membrane disingrates
• Nucleolous dissappears

METAPHASE

• Chromosomes attach to spindle apparatus and align along equator

ANAPHASE

• Microtubules shorten
• Chromosomes move back to sides of cell

CYTOKINESIS

• Cell plate forms
• Daughter cells divide
• Cleaage furrow forms at equator
