Q

Mitosis - Interphase

A

Step One

  • DNA is not condensed
  • Where a cell spends most of its time
1
Q

What is mitosis?

A

Cell creating a genetically identical copy of itself.
- Somatic Cell division

START WITH ONE PARENT CELL
END PRODUCT = GENETICALLY IDENTICAL DAUGHTER CELLS

2
Q

Mitosis - Prophase 1 and 2

A

Step Two & Three

  • Spindle begins to form
  • Nuclear envelope breaks down
  • Centrioles appear
  • Chromosomes condense
3
Q

Mitosis - Anaphase

A

Step 5

- Chromosomes divide and begin to move to the poles

4
Q

Mitosis - Telophase

A

Step 6

  • Spindle breaks down
  • Cleavage furrow forms
  • Chromosomes are in forming cells
  • Nuclear membrane beings to reform
5
Q

Mitosis - Cytokenesis

A

Final Step

- Two daughter cells

6
Q

Meiosis - Prophase 1

A

Step 1.1

  • Nuclear envelope begins to break down
  • Chromosomes condense
7
Q

Meiosis - Metaphase 1

A

Step 1.2

  • Chromosomes align on metaphase plate
  • Homologous chromosomes (one set from each parent)
8
Q

Meiosis - Anaphase 1

A

Step 1.3
