Resource summary
Mitosis
Interphase
organelles replicate
DNA is unravelled and replicated
ATP content is increased
Prophase
nuclear envelope breaks down
chromosomes lie free in cytoplasm
chromosomes condense
centrioles move to opposite ends of cell forming the spindle
Metaphase
chromosomes line up along the middle of the cell
they attach to the spindle by their centromere
Anaphase
centromeres divide separating each pair of sister chromatids
spindles contract pulling chromatids to opposite ends of cell
Telophase
chromatids uncoil to become chromosomes again
nuclear envlope forms around each group of chromosomes forming two nuclei
Cytokinesis- cytoplasm divides creating two genetically identical daughter cells
Function
leads to growth of an organism
repairs tissues and replaces dead cells
provides asexual reproduction
