- Hi I'm Dr. Doofenshmirt and today were going to be talking about the phases of mitosis.
- What is mitosis?A type of cell division that results in two daughter cells each having the same number and kind of chromosomes as the parent nucleus. The major purpose of mitosis is for growth and to replace worn out cells
- Prophase is the first phase of mitosis, the process that separates the duplicated genetic material carried in the nucleus of a parent cell into two identical daughter cells. Then, a structure called the mitotic spindle begins to form.
- Metaphase is the second phase in mitosis. Metaphase is a stage in the cell cycle where all the genetic material is condensing into chromosomes. During this stage, the nucleus disappears and the chromosomes appear in the cytoplasm of the cell. During this stage in human cells, the chromosomes then become visible under the microscope.
- During anaphase,each pair of chromosomes is separated into two identical, independent chromosomes. The chromosomes are separated by a structure called the mitotic spindle. ... The separated chromosomes are then pulled by the spindle to opposite poles of the cell.
- Telophase is the fifth and final phase of mitosis, the process that separates the duplicated genetic material carried in the nucleus of a parent cell into two identical daughter cells. ... During telophase, a nuclear membrane forms around each set of chromosomes to separate the nuclear DNA from the cytoplasm.Now you know the four phases of mitosis!!!
