Mitosis Drawing

Draw, color, and label:
– The life cycle of a cell including
• Interphase, Prophase, Metaphase, Anaphase,
Telophase, and Cytokinesis.
– Make sure to label
• Nucleus, Nuclear Membrane,
DNA/Chromosomes, Parent Cells, Daughter
Cells.
– Show what is happening to the
DNA/Chromosomes at each step of the
process.
A Cell Life Cycle
A Cell’s life…

Consists of 3
main parts
1. Interphase (I) – cell is
hanging out.
 2. Mitosis – If a cell decides
to divide it undergoes
Mitosis (PMAT)
 3. Cytokinesis (C) – Two
daughter cells created

Interphase

Phase 1Interphase
– Cell resting
– DNA is in little single
threads.
– DNA is doubled
and the cell gets
bigger.
Mitosis

Phase 2- Prophase
– Mitosis begins
– Chromosomes are
in their “x” like
shape.
– Centrioles move to
poles
– Spindle fibers
connect centrioles
DNA change from phase 1 to 2

Interphase DNA is
Chromatin (bunch of
squiggles with no clear
shape)

Prophase DNA is
organized into sister
chromatids which make a
chromosome.
Centriole Change from interphase
to Prophase

Interphase

Prophase – Centrioles
start to move to poles and
spindle fibers start to
connect them.
Nucleus
Mitosis

Phase 3Metaphase
– They line up in
middle of cell
– Chromosomes
attach to spindle
fibers
Mitosis

Phase 4Anaphase
– Sister chromatids
pull apart
– One sister of each
pair goes to
opposite ends of
the cell
Mitosis

Phase 5Telophase
– 2 new nuclei form
– Mitosis is complete
– Chromosomes are
undone again
(chromatin)
Mitosis

Phase 6Cytokinesis
– Cytoplasm pinches
in to form 2 new
identical daughter
cells
