UNIT 8

Mitosis

Prophase

The 1st stage of cell division

Metaphase

Anaphase

Telophase

Cytokinesis

The 2nd stage of cell division

3rd Stage

Final Stage

Cytoplasmic division of a cell at the end of mitosis or meiosis

Chromosomes become visible as paired chromatids

Chromosomes become attached to spindle fibers

Meiotic or mitotic cell division in which chromosomes move away from one another to opposite poles of the spindle

Chromosomes move to opposite ends of the cell and create two new nuclei

Meiosis - All stages the same, repeated twice to create 4 daughter cells rather than 2. These daughter cells, unlike in mitosis, are different from the parent cells.

Prophase 1

Crossing over

Metaphase 1

Anaphase 1

Telophase 1

Cytokinesis 1

The exchange of genes between homologous chromosomes, resulting in a mixture of parental characteristics in offspring.
