_________ replicate and move to opposite sides of the cell (the poles).

1ST PHASE: PROPHASEIt is one of the longest phases. In this phase:

The nuclear envelope and nucleolus dissolves.

The DNA (chromatin) starts to condense into chromosomes.

Centrioles replicate and move to opposite sides of the cell (the poles).

_______ _______ start to form from the centrioles and grow toward the chromosomes, eventually connecting to the chromosome.

2ND PHASE: METAPHASE

In this stage, the chromosomes are moved by the spindle fibers toward the middle of the cell, also called the _______.

2ND PHASE: METAPHASE

In this stage, the chromosomes are moved by the spindle fibers toward the middle of the cell, also called the equator.

3RD PHASE: ANAPHASE

In this phase, the chromosomes are separated into ________ ________, which get pulled to the poles.

3RD PHASE: ANAPHASE

In this phase, the chromosomes are separated into sister chromatids which get pulled to the poles.

4TH PHASE: TELOPHASEIn this phase, the cell is returning to normal, the opposite of prophase.

4TH PHASE: TELOPHASEIn this phase, the cell is returning to normal, the opposite of prophase.

The nuclear membrane reforms. The DNA uncondenses to form

chromatin. The spindle fibers disappear. The nucleolus reforms. There are two nuclei in one cell. The cell membrane begins to pinch in.

CYTOKINESISAfter mitosis is completed, the cell completely pinches into two identical cells in the process called cytokinesis. Each cell is now in Gap 1.

The whole process can take from 20 minutes (bacteria) to 24 hours (mammal cells).

Some cells divide constantly (skin and bone marrow blood), others never reproduce (nervous system).

Cells can divide uncontrollably (cancer).
