Mitosis

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: Cytokinesis

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?: Four

-- How many are in each daughter cell at the end of mitosis?: 4

--The little green T shaped things on the cell are: Centrioles

-- What happens to the centrioles during mitosis?: The centrioles divide during mitosis

3 . Identify the stages of these cells: The first stage in the drawing is Metaphase, the second one is Cytokinesis, and the third one is Prophase.

Prophase- The centrioles move to the opposite sides of the cells. The chromatin condenses into chromosomes and the nucleus dissipates.

 Metaphase- The spindle threads attach to the chromosomes.

 

 Telophase- The nucleus reform, the chromosomes distribute, and the spindle threads disintegrate. Cytokinesis takes place.
