Figure 12.4 Chromosome duplication and
distribution during cell division
0.5 µm
A eukaryotic cell has multiple
chromosomes, one of which is
represented here. Before
duplication, each chromosome
has a single DNA molecule.
Once duplicated, a chromosome
consists of two sister chromatids
connected at the centromere. Each
chromatid contains a copy of the
DNA molecule.
Mechanical processes separate
the sister chromatids into two
chromosomes and distribute
them to two daughter cells.

G2 of Interphase
• A nuclear envelope bounds
the nucleus.
• The nucleus contains one or
more nucleoli (singular,
nucleolus).
• Two centrosomes have
formed by replication of a
single centrosome.
• In animal cells, each
centrosome features two
centrioles.
• Chromosomes, duplicated
during S phase, cannot be
seen individually because
they have not yet condensed.
The light micrographs show dividing
lung cells from a newt, which has 22
chromosomes in its somatic cells
(chromosomes appear blue,
microtubules green, intermediate
filaments red). For simplicity, the
drawings show only four
chromosomes.
Prophase
• The chromatin fibers become
more tightly coiled, condensing
into discrete chromosomes
observable with a light
microscope.
• The nucleoli disappear.
• Each duplicated chromosome
appears as two identical sister
chromatids joined together.
• The mitotic spindle begins to form.
It is composed of the centrosomes
and the microtubules that extend
from them. The radial arrays of
shorter microtubules that extend
from the centrosomes are called
asters (“stars”).
• The centrosomes move away from
each other, apparently propelled
by the lengthening microtubules
between them.
Copyright © 2005 Pearson Education, Inc. publishing as Benjamin Cummings
Prometaphase
• The nuclear envelope
fragments.
• The microtubules of the
spindle can now invade the
nuclear area and interact
with the chromosomes,
which have become even
more condensed.
• Microtubules extend from
each centrosome toward
the middle of the cell.
• Each of the two chromatids
of a chromosome now has
a kinetochore, a
specialized protein
structure located at the
centromere.
• Some of the microtubules
attach to the kinetochores,
becoming “kinetochore
microtubules.” These
kinetochore microtubules
jerk the chromosomes back
and forth.
• Nonkinetochore
microtubules interact with
those from the opposite
pole of the spindle.

Metaphase
• Metaphase is the longest stage of
mitosis, lasting about 20 minutes.
• The centrosomes are now at
opposite ends of the cell.
•The chromosomes convene on the
metaphase plate, an imaginary
plane that is equidistant between
the spindle’s two poles. The
chromosomes’ centromeres lie on
the metaphase plate.
• For each chromosome, the
kinetochores of the sister
chromatids are attached to
kinetochore microtubules coming
from opposite poles.
• The entire apparatus of
microtubules is called the spindle
because of its shape.
Anaphase
• Anaphase is the shortest stage of
mitosis, lasting only a few minutes.
• Anaphase begins when the two sister
chromatids of each pair suddenly part.
Each chromatid thus becomes a fullfledged chromosome.
• The two liberated chromosomes begin
moving toward opposite ends of the cell,
as their kinetochore microtubules
shorten. Because these microtubules are
attached at the centromere region, the
chromosomes move centromere first (at
about 1 µm/min).
• The cell elongates as the
nonkinetochore microtubules lengthen.
• By the end of anaphase, the two ends of
the cell have equivalent—and
complete—collections of chromosomes.
Copyright © 2005 Pearson Education, Inc. publishing as Benjamin Cummings
Telophase
• Two daughter nuclei begin to
form in the cell.
• Nuclear envelopes arise from
the fragments of the parent
cell’s nuclear envelope and
other portions of the
endomembrane system.
• The chromosomes become
less condensed.
• Mitosis, the division of one
nucleus into two genetically
identical nuclei, is now
complete.
Cytokinesis
• The division of the cytoplasm
is usually well underway by
late telophase, so the two
daughter cells appear shortly
after the end of mitosis.
• In animal cells, cytokinesis
involves the formation of a
cleavage furrow, which
pinches the cell in two.

Figure 12.8 Inquiry During anaphase, do kinetochore microtubules
shorten at their spindle pole ends or their kinetochore ends?

2 A Laser was used to mark the kinetochore mircotubles by eliminating the fluorescnce in a region between
one spindle pole and the chromosomes. As anaphase proceeded, researches monitored the changes
in the lengths of the microtubles on either side of the mark.

RESULTS
As the chromosomes moved toward the poles, the microtubule segments on the
kinetochore side of the laser mark shortened, while those on the spindle pole side stayed the
same length.

CONCLUSION
This experiment demonstrated that during anaphase, kinetochore microtubules shorten
at their kinetochore ends, not at their spindle pole ends. This is just one of the experiments supporting the
hypothesis that during anaphase, a chromosome tracks along a microtubule as the microtubule
depolymerizes at its kinetochore end, releasing tubulin subunits

The mechanism is not fully understood, but proteins may
anchor the daughter chromosomes to specific sites on the
plasma membrane.
(b) Dinoflagellates. In unicellular protists called dinoflagellates,
the nuclear envelope remains intact during cell division, and
the chromosomes attach to the nuclear envelope. Microtubules
pass through the nucleus inside cytoplasmic tunnels,
reinforcing the spatial orientation of the nucleus, which then
divides in a fission process reminiscent of bacterial division.
(c) Diatoms. In another group of unicellular protists, the
diatoms, the nuclear envelope also remains intact during
cell division. But in these organisms, the microtubules
form a spindle within the nucleus. Microtubules separate
the chromosomes, and the nucleus splits into two
daughter nuclei.
(d) Most eukaryotes. In most other eukaryotes, including
plants and animals, the spindle forms outside the
nucleus, and the nuclear envelope breaks down during
mitosis. Microtubules separate the chromosomes, and
the nuclear envelope then re-forms.

EXPERIMENTS
In each experiment, cultured mammalian cells at two different phases of the cell cycle were induced to fuse.

RESULTS
S
When a cell in the S
phase was fused with
a cell in G1, the G1 cell
immediately entered the
S phase—DNA was
synthesized.
CONCLUSION
M
When a cell in the M phase
was fused with a cell in G1, the
G1 cell immediately began mitosis—
a spindle formed and chromatin
condensed, even though the
chromosome had not been duplicated.
The results of fusing cells at two different phases of the cell cycle suggest that molecules present in the
cytoplasm of cells in the S or M phase control the progression of phases.

1 Synthesis of cyclin begins in late S
phase and continues through G2.
Because cyclin is protected from
degradation during this stage, it
accumulates.

the cell favor degradation
of cyclin, and the Cdk
component of MPF is
recycled.

Figure 12.18 Density-dependent inhibition and
anchorage dependence of cell division
(a) Normal mammalian cells. The
availability of nutrients, growth
factors, and a substratum for
attachment limits cell
density to a single layer.
Cells anchor to dish surface and
divide (anchorage dependence).
When cells have formed a complete
single layer, they stop dividing
(density-dependent inhibition).
If some cells are scraped away, the
remaining cells divide to fill the gap and
then stop (density-dependent inhibition).

Cancer cells do not exhibit
anchorage dependence or
density-dependent inhibition.

continue to divide well beyond a
