Cytokinesis is the actual splitting of the cell membrane animal cells pinch apart, while plant cells form a cell plate that becomes the new cell wall.During telophase, chromosomes arrive at opposite poles and unwind into thin strands of DNA, the spindle fibers disappear, and the nuclear membrane reappears.During anaphase, sister chromatids physically separate at the centromere and pull towards opposite poles of the cell by the mitotic spindle.During metaphase, sister chromatids align along the middle of the cell by attaching their centromeres to the spindle fibers.During prophase, the nucleus disappears, spindle fibers form, and DNA condenses into chromosomes (sister chromatids).Plant cells divide when new cell wall components lay down in the center of the cell. This region is called the cleavage furrow. Animal cells divide when proteins pinch in the center of the cell until it separates into two. CytokinesisĬytokinesis is the separation of the cytoplasm into two new daughter cells. The next step will separate the cytoplasm into two compartments. nuclear envelope material surrounds each set of chromosomes.chromosomes arrive at opposite poles and begin to condense.“Telo” comes from the Greek word for “end”. However, the two nuclei are still in a single cell. ![]() The chromosomes separate into two identical nuclei. In telophase, the nuclei at each pole form again. non-kinetochore spindle fibers lengthen, elongating the cell.sister chromatids (now called chromosomes) pull toward opposite poles.cohesin proteins binding the sister chromatids together break down.By the end of anaphase, each pole of the cell contains an identical set of chromosomes. The nonkinetochore spindle fibers from one pole also push on the other pole, which causes cell elongation. The connected sister chromatids, now called chromosomes, pull toward opposite poles and cause the chromosomes to split. each sister chromatid is attached to a spindle fiber originating from opposite polesĭuring anaphase, proteins that bind the sister chromatids together break down.chromosomes line up at the metaphase plate.mitotic spindle is fully developed, and centrosomes are at opposite poles of the cell.The centromeres attach to the spindle fibers originating at opposite poles. Metaphase is so named because the chromosomes line up in the middle of the cell. spindle fibers emerge from the centrosomes.chromosomes condense and become visible.“Pro-” means “before ” “phase” means “stage.” So, this is the stage before the process gets into full swing. The nuclear envelope starts to disintegrate, mitotic spindle begins to assemble, and centriole pairs move toward opposite poles of the cell. A centromere connects each chromatid to its copy, making the linked pairs look like X’s. Mitosis begins in prophase, where the chromosome condenses into chromatids. The two daughter cells will each have the same genetic code. ![]() Then the cell membrane can split the cytoplasm and organelles (termed cytokinesis). The events of mitosis describe the processes of splitting and moving nuclear DNA to opposite ends of the parent cell, where the nuclear membranes will reform. The DNA needs to be free from the nucleus so it can evenly distribute to two daughter cells. Remember that the DNA is in the nucleus, which is surrounded by the nuclear membrane. By observing the chromosome, one can identify the mitotic process. ![]() The stages of mitosis occur in sequence with specific events in each one. Mitosis steps consist of prophase, metaphase, anaphase, and telophase the cell undergoes nucleus division and split into two identical daughter cells.
