things?

Overview
Telophase
Interphase
Interphase
•
•
•
•
G1 phase- Cell growth
S phase- DNA Replication
G2 phase- Preparation for mitosis
This is the longest phase of all
Prophase
• Nucleus Condenses
• DNA is compacted into movable packages
called Chromosomes
Metaphase
• Aligning chromosomes at cell equator
• Attaching spindle fibers from each new
daughter cell pole to each chromosome at
the centromere
Anaphase
• Spindle fibers pull chromosomes apart
• Half of the chromosomes (chromatid)
moves to a new daughter cell
Telophase & Cytokinesis
• DNA gathers and two nuclei form
• new cell wall and membrane appears
between the two nuclei to form two new
daughter cells and cytoplasm pinches in half
Cell Plate
Interphase
• From new cell formation into rest phase
again
Meiosis
Gamete Formation and
Recombination
Meiosis Definition
cell division that produces reproductive cells in
sexually reproducing organisms; the nucleus
divides into four nuclei each containing half
the chromosome number leading to gametes.
Division 1
• Interphase 1: DNA replication
• Prophase 1: Each chromosome forms and
remains closely associated. These are called
sister chromatids.
• Metaphase 1: Homologous chromosomes
align at the equatorial plate.
• Anaphase 1: Homologous pairs separate with
sister chromatids remaining together.
• Telophase 1: Two daughter cells are formed
with each daughter containing only one
chromosome of the homologous pair.
Division 2
• Prophase 2: DNA does not replicate.
• Metaphase 2: Chromosomes align at the
equatorial plate.
• Anaphase 2: Centromeres divide and sister
chromatids migrate separately to each pole.
• Telophase 2: Cell division is complete.
Four haploid daughter cells are obtained.
