Mitosis Flip Book

By Stuart Knight

InterphaseLongest stage usually. This is when the cell starts to make proteins.

Growth and Preparation

This stage the cell still makes more protein but it also starts to grow in size

DNA Replication

The cell breaks down the DNA and then is split up into a copy for the new cell.

Continued Growth and Prep

Spindle Fibres start to appear

Early Phrophase/MitosisChromosomes start to roll up tight and become lines

Nucleolus membrane starts to disappear

Phrosphase

Spindle fibres move to the poles of the cell and the nucleolus membrane starts to disappear and the chromosomes duplicate and becomes X shaped

Spindle Fibres grab chromsomes

MetaphaseThe spindle fibres then pull the chromosomes into the middle of the cell.

Anaphase The spindle fibres keep pulling and takes half of the chromosomes with them and the cell starts to stretch

Telophase

In this phase the cell slowly moves apart and creates two new cells with the nucleolus membrane starts to show

Cytokinesis

The coiled up chromosomes start to unwind, and then starts to unwind into chromatin.

Final stage

These are the two final cells. They look like there parents cells and are called daughter cells.
