Chromatin condenses into chromosomes Prophase
Chromosomes align in center of cell. Metaphase
Longest part of the cell cycle. Interphase
Nuclear envelope breaks down. Prometaphase
Cell is cleaved into two new daughter cells. Cytokinsis
Daughter chromosomes arrive at the poles. Telophase
2. The colored chromosomes represent chromatids. There are two of each color because one is an exact duplicate of the other.
--How many chromosomes are visible at the beginning of mitosis? Eight
-- How many are in each daughter cell at the end of mitosis? Eight
--The little green T shaped things on the cell are: centrioles
-- What happens to the centrioles during mitosis? The centrioles divide
3 . Identify the stages of these cells:
Metaphase
Telophase
Prophase
View the animation and sketch the cell in:
Prophase The chromosomes condense, the nucleus dissipates. centroiles migrate to opposite sides of the cell.
Metaphase Spindle fibers attach to chromosomes. Chromosomes align on the metaphase plate.
Telophase
