Mitosis

Mitosis (Growth, Repair and Asexual Reproduction)

Interphase - (Inbetween Divisions) > Prior to mitosis thin strands fo DNA in the cell nucleus                                                                thicken into chromosomes which then duplicate themselves.

Prophase - (Pair) > Centrioles divide, nuclear membrane disentergrates, asters move to opposites                              (top and bottom poles)

Metaphase - (Middle) > chromosomes centromeres attatch to the spindle fibres, line up at middle                                   of  the cell

Anaphase - (Apart/Away) > Centromeres split equally to each pole, cell membrane begins to                                                 pinch at the center 

Telophase - (Two) > CYTOKYNESIS = 2 new cells are formed. nuclear membrane forms around                                 the seperated chromosomes.

Centromere = middle/centre of chromosome

Chromatid = bottom or top half of chromosome
