Slide 1

What are the stages of Mitosis?

Do Now: What is an example of asexual reproduction? Homework #3 due tomorrow.

Notes are boxed in.

Slide 2

Some vocabulary we’ll need…

Cell division - process by which cells reproduce

Chromosomes - cell parts that determine what traits a living thing will have

Chromatid - one strand of DNA; after replication, a chromosome is made up of two identical chromatids

Daughter cells - new cells produced by cell division

Cytokinesis – a division of the cytoplasm of one parent cell into 2 daughter cells

Slide 4

Interphase

This is the phase of mitosis where the cell performs its normal activities for life. (MRS. GONE without the R)

DNA is in the chromatin state (kind of like spaghetti)

Stages of Mitosis

Slide 5

Centrioles appear

Slide 6

Centrioles move

Slide 7

Prophase

Prophase- the nuclear membrane breaks down. The double stranded chromosomes are able to move feely around the cytoplasm

METAphase = MIDDLE
