Mitosis & Cell Division

Visualize the stages of the cell cycle and nuclear division.

Overview

Main Concept

To understand the sequential stages of mitosis (Prophase, Metaphase, Anaphase, Telophase) and their significance in maintaining genetic stability.

Key Events per Stage

  1. 1

    Observe the cell in Interphase, noting the presence of a nuclear envelope and chromatin.

  2. 2

    Proceed to Prophase to see chromosome condensation and spindle formation.

  3. 3

    Move to Metaphase and identify the equatorial alignment of chromosomes.

  4. 4

    Observe the separation of sister chromatids during Anaphase.

  5. 5

    Note the formation of two nuclei during Telophase.

  6. 6

    Finally, observe Cytokinesis where the cell physical divides into two daughter cells.
