
The process of mitosis is divided into six stages.






Interphase
Prophase
Metaphase
Anaphase
Telophase
Cytokinesis
Interphase
Prophase
Interphase

G1



Description

S


In this phase, the cell
increases in mass in
preparation for cell division.
The period during which DNA
is synthesized
G2

The cell synthesizes proteins
and continues to increase in
size.


The chromosomes are
identical chromatids
connected at the center
by the centromere.
Nucleolus disappears.
Centioles duplicate to
form two pairs of
centrioles.
Anaphase
Metaphase

Metaphase can occupy a
large portion of the total
time of mitosis.

End of Anaphase

Each pole contains a
complete compilation of
chromosomes.
Cytokinesis
Telophase

Description


the re-forming of the nuclear
envelope
the sister chromatids reach
opposite poles

Process


With the two nuclei already at
opposite poles of the cell, the
cell cytoplasm separates.
The contractile ring defines
the cleavage line for the cell.


Meiosis is a two-part cell division process in
organisms that sexually reproduce.
There are two phases.


Meiosis I
Meiosis II
Phase I

Interphase



The cell undergoes a round of
chromosome replication.
Prophase

Each replicated chromosome pairs
with its corresponding
homologous.
Metaphase


Paired homologous chromosomes
line up at the center of the cell.
Anaphase


Telophase


Spindle fibers pull each
homologous chromosomes
pair toward opposite ends.
A nuclear membrane forms
around each cluster of
chromosomes.
Cytokinesis

Forms two new cells.
Phase II

Prophase


The chromosomes each containing two chromatids become visible.
Metaphase II, Anaphase II, Telophase II, Cytokinesis


The final four stages of meiosis II are similar to those in meiosis I.
However the result is four haploid daughter cells.
Four haploid
cells
Mitosis
Meiosis
Definition
A type of cellular
reproduction in which the
number of chromosomes
are reduced by half
through the separation of
homologous
chromosomes.
A process of asexual
reproduction in which the
cell divides in two
producing a replica.


Cancer




A disorder in which body cells lose the ability to control growth.
Cancer cells grow rapidly and need to copy their dna more quickly
than normal cells.
Cancer is a disease of the cell cycle.
Mutations


Heritable changes in genetic information.
Cancer can result from mutations.

Ex: Sickle Cell Disease.
