What occurs during the M
phase?
Sections 8.6 and 8.7
+
Mitosis and Cytokinesis
+
Prophase (including prometaphase)
Nuclear membrane breaks
down
Chromatin condenses into
chromosomes
Spindle fibers appear
Centriole + spindle fibers =
centrosome
Centrosomes move to poles
Nucleolus disappears
Kinetochore of centromere on
each sister chromatid attaches to
spindle fiber
+
Prophase…
+
Metaphase
Spindle is fully formed
Chromosomes line up in the
“middle” of the cell (at the
metaphase plate – which is
between the poles of the cell)
+
Anaphase
Nonkinetochore microtubules
elongate the cell
Centromeres of sister chromatids
split
Motor proteins of kinetochores pull
daughter chromosomes to the
poles centromere 1st along
microtubules
Ends when chromosomes reach
the poles
+
Telophase
Nuclear membranes reappear
(one around each set of
chromosomes)
Chromosomes uncoil to
chromatin
Nucleolus reappears
Spindle breaks down
Cytokinesis begins during this
stage
+
Cytokinesis
Division of cytoplasms
Starts during telophase
Animal Cells – pinching
inward forms a cleavage
furrow
Plant cells – vesicles align
between the two nuclei;
vesicles fuse to form a cell
plate; cell plate grows outward
