Nucleus
Nucleolus
Chromatin
condensing
Prophase. The
chromatin is condensing.
The nucleolus is
beginning to disappear.
Although not yet visible
in the micrograph, the
mitotic spindle is starting
to form.
Chromosomes
Prometaphase. We
now see discrete
chromosomes; each
consists of two identical
sister chromatids. Later
in prometaphase, the
nuclear envelope will
fragment.
Cell plate
Metaphase. The spindle is
complete, and the
chromosomes, attached
to microtubules at their
kinetochores, are all at
the metaphase plate.
Anaphase. The
chromatids of each
chromosome have
separated, and the
daughter chromosomes
are moving to the ends of
the cell as their
kinetochore microtubules shorten.
10 µm
Telophase. Daughter
nuclei are forming.
Meanwhile, cytokinesis
has started: The cell
plate, which will divide
the cytoplasm in two, is
growing toward the
perimeter of the parent
cell.

Can you identify the stages?

Chromosome
replication begins.
Soon thereafter,
one copy of the origin
moves rapidly toward
the other end of the cell.
Replication continues.
One copy of the origin
is now at each end of
the cell.
Replication finishes.
The plasma membrane
grows inward, and
new cell wall is
deposited.
Two daughter
cells result.

Checkpoints
(Is all going according to plan?)

G0
G1 checkpoint
G1
If a cell receives a go-ahead
signal at the G1 checkpoint,
the cell continues on in the
cell cycle.
G1
If a cell does not receive a
go-ahead signal at the G1
checkpoint, the cell exits the
cell cycle and goes into G0, a
nondividing state.

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
