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.
