The process of mitosis is divided into six stages.
Interphase
Prophase
Metaphase
Anaphase
Telophase
Cytokinesis
Interphase
Prophase
Interphase
G1
Description
S
In this phase, the cell
increases in mass in
preparation for cell division.
The period during which DNA
is synthesized
G2
The cell synthesizes proteins
and continues to increase in
size.
The chromosomes are
identical chromatids
connected at the center
by the centromere.
Nucleolus disappears.
Centioles duplicate to
form two pairs of
centrioles.
Anaphase
Metaphase
Metaphase can occupy a
large portion of the total
time of mitosis.
End of Anaphase
Each pole contains a
complete compilation of
chromosomes.
Cytokinesis
Telophase
Description
the re-forming of the nuclear
envelope
the sister chromatids reach
opposite poles
Process
With the two nuclei already at
opposite poles of the cell, the
cell cytoplasm separates.
The contractile ring defines
the cleavage line for the cell.
Meiosis is a two-part cell division process in
organisms that sexually reproduce.
There are two phases.
Meiosis I
Meiosis II
Phase I
Interphase
The cell undergoes a round of
chromosome replication.
Prophase
Each replicated chromosome pairs
with its corresponding
homologous.
Metaphase
Paired homologous chromosomes
line up at the center of the cell.
Anaphase
Telophase
Spindle fibers pull each
homologous chromosomes
pair toward opposite ends.
A nuclear membrane forms
around each cluster of
chromosomes.
Cytokinesis
Forms two new cells.
Phase II
Prophase
The chromosomes each containing two chromatids become visible.
Metaphase II, Anaphase II, Telophase II, Cytokinesis
The final four stages of meiosis II are similar to those in meiosis I.
However the result is four haploid daughter cells.
Four haploid
cells
Mitosis
Meiosis
Definition
A type of cellular
reproduction in which the
number of chromosomes
are reduced by half
through the separation of
homologous
chromosomes.
A process of asexual
reproduction in which the
cell divides in two
producing a replica.

Cancer
A disorder in which body cells lose the ability to control growth.
Cancer cells grow rapidly and need to copy their dna more quickly
than normal cells.
Cancer is a disease of the cell cycle.
Mutations
Heritable changes in genetic information.
Cancer can result from mutations.
Ex: Sickle Cell Disease.
