Mitosis - cell division in which the nucleus divides into nuclei containing the same
number of chromosomes
Meiosis - a type of cell division that results in four daughter cells each with half the
number of chromosomes of the parent cell, as in the production of gametes and plant spores.
Mitosis vs. Meiosis - Mitosis: one division forming 2 identical cells (clones); Meiosis: two
divisions forming 4 genetically different cells with half the amount of DNA as the parent cells
Prophase (mitosis) - chromatin condenses into chromosomes
centriole pairs separate, move toward opposite sides of the cell, and form spindle fibers made
of microtubules
the fibers radiate outward from the centrioles
nuclear membrane dissolves which allows spindle fibers to contact chromosomes
Metaphase - second phase of mitosis, during which the chromosomes line up across the
center of the cell
Anaphase - the third phase of mitosis, during which the chromosome pairs separate and
move toward opposite poles
Telephase (Mitosis) - 1: Chromosomes lengthen and become indistinct chromatin
2: Nuclear envelope forms and nucleolus appears
3: spindle fibers disappear
4: 2 daughter nuclei present
