Mitosis
1
Mitosis
division of the
nucleus
only occurs in
eukaryotes
has four stages
doesn’t occur in
some cells such
as brain cells
2
Four Mitotic Stages
Prophase
Metaphase
Anaphase
Telophase
PMAT!
3
Early Prophase
chromatin in nucleus condenses to form
visible chromosomes
spindle forms from fibers in
cytoskeleton or centrioles (animal)
Nucleolus
Cytoplasm
Nuclear Membrane
Chromosomes
4
Late Prophase
nuclear membrane & nucleolus are
broken down
chromosomes continue condensing &
are clearly visible
spindle fibers attach to the
centromere of each chromosome
spindle finishes forming between the
poles of the cell
5
Late Prophase
Chromosomes
Nucleus & Nucleolus have disintegrated

Sketch The Spindle
Centromere
Centriole
Spindle fiber
7
Metaphase
chromosomes, attached to the spindle
fibers, move to the center of the cell
chromosomes are now lined up at the
equator
Equator of Cell
Pole of
the Cell
8
Metaphase
Spindle fibers
Chromosomes at Equator

equator 10
Anaphase
occurs rapidly
chromatids are
pulled apart to
opposite poles
of the cell by
spindle fibers
11
Anaphase
chromatids
being
separated
chromatids being
separated
12
Telophase
chromatids at opposite poles
spindle disassembles
nuclear envelope forms around
each set of chromatids to make two
nuclei
nucleolus reappears in new nuclei
chromosomes reappear as
chromatin
13
chromatids
now back as
chromatin
14
Cytokinesis
means division of the cytoplasm
division of cell into two, identical
halves called daughter cells
in plant cells, cell plate forms at
the equator to divide cell
in animal cells, belt of protein
fibers splits the cell
15
Cytokinesis
belt of fibers in
animal cell
cell plate in plant
cell
16
Daughter Cells of Mitosis
have the same number of
chromosomes as each other & as the
parent cell from which they were
formed
identical to each other, but smaller
than parent cell
must grow in size to become mature
cells (G1 of Interphase)

Uncontrolled Mitosis
if mitosis is not
controlled, unlimited cell
division – this is cancer
masses of cancer cells
cause tumors which
invade surrounding
healthy tissue
not all tumors are
cancerous – some
DON’T invade healthy
tissue
cancer cells
