Cytokinesis separates the nuclei into two daughter cells which are identical to the original cell. Activity for students to build a flip book that shows the stages of mitosis. Mitosis begins at prophase with the thickening and coiling of the chromosomes. Only somatic cells (any cell besides sex cells, sperm and egg) reproduce by mitosis. The daughter cells are identical to one another and to the original parent cell. Stages of mitosis Mitosis is divided into stages: prophase, metaphase, anaphase, telophase. Mitosis (Prophase) Early Prophase: At this stage, The Spindle fibres start to form, the nuclear membrane begins to disappear, as well as the nucleolus. Introduction: Mitosis is a process of cell division which results in the production of two daughter cells from a single parent cell. There are two nuclei in the cell, now it’s about to divide.Ĭytokinesis This is the final stage in mitosis. Strictly applied, the term mitosis is used to describe the duplication and distribution of chromosomes, the structures that carry the genetic information. Telophase The spindle fibres begin to disappear, and a nuclear membrane forms around the chromosomes. Once they separate, each chromatid is a chromosome.
Metaphase The spindle fibres tug the X shaped chromosomes into a line across the middle of the cell.Īnaphase The spindle fibres begin to contract and shorten which pulls the centromere apart to let the sister chromatids move to the opposite sides of the cell. The spindle fibres have fully formed, and they attach themselves to the centromeres. A master is included that shows an example of each frame finished.
Once the book is assembled, the students can flip through the pages and it will create a visual that looks as it the cell is actually dividing. Late Prophase The nucleus has completely disappeared. Activity for students to build a flip book that shows the stages of mitosis.
