- Mitosis
- cell cycle
- interphase: cell growth/ genetic material replicated and checked for errors- may kill itself to avoid mutations being passed on
- Mitosis: cell division (growth/repair)
- Prophase: chromosomes condense/ centrioles move to opposite ends of the cell forming spindle fibres/ nuclear envelope breaks down
- Metaphase: chromosomes line up along equator of cell/ become attached to the spindle by their centromere
- Anaphase: centromeres divide, separating each pair of sister chromatids/ spindles contract pulling chromatids to opposite ends of the cell, centromere first
- Telophase: chromatids reach opposite poles on the spindle/ uncoil and become long and thin again (chromosomes)/ nuclear envelope forms around each group= two nuclei/ cytoplasm divides= two genetically identical daughter cells
- staining chromosomes= see mitosis under a microscope
- cell cycle
