Metaphase During bratashasi the spincle floers move
the centromeros of the duplicated chromason ins to the center
of the cell. These spindle fibers are connected to the two
near the contrioles and are ready to separate the sister
chromarids.
Anaphase During anaphase the chromosomes separate
and move along the spincle fibers to opposite ends of the cell.
Anaphase ends when the Sister chromatids, now cansidered
individual chromosomes, are completely separated into two
groups and the spincile fibers have almost disappeared.
Telophase During Eelophiase, the chromosomes, which
were distinct and condensed, begin to spread out into a tangle
of chromatin.This is the final stage of mitosis.The nuclear
envelope is reconstructed and the nucleolus becomes visible in
each new cell.
Cytokinesis
QKEY QUESTION How do daughter cells split apart after
mitosis?
In plants, cytokinesis separates the cells by forming a cell plate
between the divided nuclei In animals, cytokinesis draws the
membrane inward to separate the cells.
During the M phase of the cell cycle,mitosis forms two
nuclei, each with a complete set of the DNA. The last segment
of the Mphase is cytokinesis. Cytokinesis completes the
process of cell division by dividing one cell into two.
Cytokinesis in Animal Cells The cell membrane is drawn
inward and pinched into two new daughter cells Each cell
contains the new nucleus formed during mitosis and an equal
mount of cytoplasm.
ytokinesis in Plants Because of the rigid cell wall
outside.the cell membrane in plant cells, pinching from
outside inward cannot occur A.cell plate forms halfway
ween the two nuclei and
with the existing cell membranes. A new cell wall then
to separate the two daughter cells.
