What are the stages in mitosis in order?
Interphase, Prophase, Prometaphase, Metaphase, Anaphase, Telophase, Cytokinesis
1 of 8
What happens in Interphase?
Cell grows producing more organelles and chromosomes are duplicated, 2 centrosomes with 2 centrioles formed.
2 of 8
What happens in Prophase?
Chromatin fibres condense into discrete chromosomes and nucleoli dissapear. Duplicated chromatids join at centromeres by cohesins and mitotic spindle starts forming and centromeres move away from each other.
3 of 8
What happens in Prometaphase?
Nuclear envelope fragments and the microtubules extend from each centrsome, attaching to kinetochores on the chromatids starting to pull them apart
4 of 8
What happens in Metaphase?
The chromosomes line up on the metaphase plate
5 of 8
What happens in Anaphase?
Cohesion proteins are cleaved separating the chromatids the cell elongates and microtubules shorten
6 of 8
What happens in Telophase?
Nuclear envelope reforms around the chromosomes
7 of 8
What happens in Cytokinesis?
A cleavage furrow forms which splits the cell into 2.
