 Interphase. The cell is engaged in metabolic activity and performing its duty as part
of a tissue. The DNA duplicates during interphase to prepare for mitosis (the next
four phases that lead up to and include nuclear division). Chromosomes are not
clearly discerned in the nucleus, although a dark spot called the nucleolus may be
visible. nucleolus Stages of Interphase G1 – Growth S – DNA Replication G2 –
preparation for cell division

2 Prophase. (1) Chromatin in the nucleus begins to condense and becomes visible in
the light microscope as chromosomes. (2)The nuclear membrane dissolves, marking
the beginning of late prophase (prometaphase). (3) Proteins attach to the
centromeres creating the kinetochores. Microtubules attach at the kinetochores and
the chromosomes begin moving. (1) Chromatin in the nucleus begins to condense
and becomes visible in the light microscope as chromosomes (2)The nuclear
membrane dissolves, marking the beginning of prometaphase. Centrosomes with
centriole pairs Microtubules – beginning of the Spindle

3 Metaphase. Spindle fibers align the chromosomes along the middle of the cell
nucleus. This line is referred to as the metaphase plate. This organization helps to
ensure that in the next phase, when the chromosomes are separated, each new
nucleus will receive one copy of each chromosome. Spindle Chromosome
Metaphase plate (mid-line)

4 Anaphase. The paired chromosomes separate at the kinetochores and move to


opposite sides of the cell. Motion results from a combination of kinetochore
movement along the spindle microtubules and through the physical interaction of
polar microtubules. The paired chromosomes separate at the kinetochores and
move to opposite sides of the cell. Spindle microtubules

5 Telophase. New membranes form around the daughter nuclei while the
chromosomes disperse and are no longer visible under the light microscope.
Cytokinesis or the partitioning of the cell may also begin during this stage. New
membranes form around the daughter nuclei while the chromosomes disperse and
are no longer visible under the light microscope Cytokinesis. In animal cells,
cytokinesis results when a fiber ring composed of a protein called actin around the
center of the cell contracts pinching the cell into two daughter cells, each with one
nucleus. In plant cells, the rigid wall requires that a cell plate be synthesized between
the two daughter cells
