• DN A has been replicated
• Centrioles replicate (animal cells)
• Cell prepares for division
• Chromosomes condense and
become visible
• Chromosomes appear as two
sister chromatids held together
at the centromere
• Cytoskeleton is disassembled:
spindle begins to form
• Golgi and ER are dispersed
• Nuclear envelope breaks down
• Chromosomes attach to
microtubules at the kinetochores
• Each chromosome is oriented
such that the kinetochores
of sister chromatids are
attached to microtubules
from opposite poles.
• Chromosomes move to
equator of the cell
Kinetochore
microtubule
Polar microtubule
• All chromosomes are aligned
at equator of the cell, called
the metaphase plate
• Chromosomes are attached
to opposite poles and are
under tension
• Proteins holding centromeres of
sister chromatids are degraded,
freeing individual chromosomes
• Chromosomes are pulled to
opposite poles (anaphase A)
• Spindle poles move apart
(anaphase B)
Polar microtubule
• Chromosomes are clustered at
opposite poles and decondense
• Nuclear envelopes re-form around
chromosomes
• Golgi complex and ER re-form
• In animal cells, cleavage furrow
forms to divide the cells
• In plant cells, cell plate forms
to divide the cells

Prokaryotes
No nucleus, usually
have single circular
chromosome. After DNA
is replicated, it is
partitioned in the cell.
After cell elongation,
FtsZ protein assembles
into a ring and facilitates
septation and cell
division.
Chromosome
Some Protists
Nucleus present and
nuclear envelope
remains intact during
cell division.
Chromosomes line up.
Microtubule fibers pass
through tunnels in the
nuclear membrane and
set up an axis for
separation of
replicated
chromosomes, and cell
division.
FtsZ protein
Microtubule
Chromosome
Other Protists
A spindle of microtubules forms between
two pairs of centrioles at
opposite ends of the
cell. The spindle passes
through one tunnel in
the intact nuclear
envelope. Kinetochore
microtubules form
between kinetochores
on the chromosomes
and the spindle poles
and pull the chromosomes to each pole.
Yeasts
Nuclear envelope
remains intact; spindle
microtubules form inside
the nucleus between
spindle pole bodies. A
single kinetochore
microtubule attaches to
each chromosome and
pulls each to a pole.
Kinetochore microtubule
Animals
Spindle microtubules
begin to form between
centrioles outside of
nucleus. Centrioles move
to the poles and the
nuclear envelope breaks
down. Kinetochore
microtubules attach
kinetochores of
chromosomes to spindle
poles. Polar microtubules
extend toward the center
of the cell and overlap.
