Stages of Mitosis PMATC

What takes place during Prophase?

• Chromosomes align at the cell equator, and the nuclear envelope remains intact.
• Nuclear envelope reforms, and chromosomes decondense into chromatin.
• Spindle fibers attach to the centromeres, and chromatin remains dispersed.
• Chromatin (DNA) condenses into chromosomes, nuclear envelope breaks down, and centrioles form.

What takes place during Metaphase?

• Chromosomes replicate and move to opposite poles.
• Spindle fibers disassemble and chromosomes condense.
• Chromosomes align at the center of the cell (Metaphase plate) and spindle fibers attach to them.

• Nuclear envelope reforms around the chromosomes.

What takes place during anaphase?

• Sister chromatids are separated and move to opposite poles of the cell.
• Chromosomes align at the cell equator.
• Nuclear envelope begins to reform around chromosomes.
• Spindle fibers disassemble and shorten.

What takes place during Telophase?

• Chromosomes de-condense and nuclear envelopes reform.
• Cytoplasm divides into two separate cells.
• Spindle fibers attach to the centromeres.
• Chromosomes align at the cell equator.

What takes place during Cytokinesis?

• Cytokinesis involves the replication of DNA in the cell.
• Cytokinesis is the process of cell signaling during mitosis.
• Cytokinesis is the fusion of the nucleus, creating a single cell.
• Cytokinesis is the division of the cytoplasm, resulting in two separate daughter cells.

1. ​ (a)   2. ​ (b)   3. ​ (c)   4. ​ (d)  

• Prophase
• Metaphase
• Anaphase
• Telophase

Match the following

• Chromatids break apart at the centromere and move to opposite poles (ends) of the cell

• Prophase

• Chromosomes shorten and thicken

• Metaphase

• Chromosomes line up in the middle of the cell

• Telophase

• Two nuclei form after nuclear envelopes form around chromosomes

• Anaphase

Match the following steps in cell division....

• Anaphase

• The nucleus disappears and chromosomes appear.

• Prophase

• Chromosomes separate and move APART to opposite ends of the cell.

• Telophase

• Chromosomes line up in the MIDDLE of the cell.

• Metaphase

• The cell forms TWO new nuclei for each new daughter cell.
