Mitosis Phase

(PMAT) 1.) Prophase- - Distinct pairs of chromosomes become apparent - Pairs of centrioles migrate to opposite ends of the cell, forcing spindle fibers between them - Nuclear envelope and nucleolus disappear 2.) Metaphase- - Chromosomes line up midway between the centrioles -Centromeres attach to spindle fibers 3.) Anaphase- -Centromeres separate -Individual chromosomes migrate in opposite directions -Cytokinesis begins 4.) Telophase- -Begins as chromatid movement stops - Chromosomes complete migration toward centrioles -Nuclear envelopes develop around each set of chromosomes -Nucleoli develop -Spindle fibers disappear -Cleavage furrow nearly complete

Cell cycle

1.) G1 - rapid growth and replication of centrioles Precedes the S - phase During this phase, cells are engaged in the growth, metabolism, and the production of substances required for cell division 2.) S - growth and DNA replication Chromosomes are replicated 3.) G2 - growth and final preps for cell division
