Stages of Mitosis
Kimberly J. Luper B.S. M.S.
Objectives
Distinguish the difference between mitosis and meiosis.
List the functions of mitosis
Define the mitotic phase.
Discuss and explain the four stages of mitosis.
Define cytokinesis.
Mitosis v/s Meiosis
• Mitosis is the duplication of the chromosomes in the nucleus and their separation into two identical sets in the process of somatic (“of the body”) cell division.
• Meiosis is restricted to one purpose, the production of eggs and sperm.
Functions of Mitosis
Growth of all tissues and organs after birth.
Replacement of cells that die.
Repair of damaged tissues.
Mitotic Phase
The mitotic phase of the cell cycle consists of: Nuclear division
(mitosis)
Cytoplasmic division (cytokinesis) to form two identical cells.
Four Stages of Mitosis
Prophase
Prophase is actually divided into two steps:
1. Early prophase
2. Late prophase
Early Prophase
Centrioles(two pairs) “Aster rays”
Nuclear envelope containingchromosomes.
Late Prophases
Chromosome withtwo sisters chromatids
Centromere
Centrioles
Spindle fibers /microtubules
Metaphase
Metaphase plate
Chromosomemicrotubules
Anaphase
Daughter chromosomes
Telophase
Cleavage furrow
Nuclear membranes
Cytokinesis
Daughter cells
Cytokinesis
Cytoplasmic division: contractile ring from cleavage furrow around the center of the cell, dividing cytoplasm into separate and equal portions.
WHY?
Why is the mitotic phase or mitosis phase so important?
WHY?
Cell division or mitosis helps the body to replace dead cells and repair damaged tissue.

PMAT
PMAT
1. Pro(before) phase: Chromatin fibers condense into paired chromatids; nucleus envelope disappears; each centrosome moves to an opposite pole of the cell.
2. Meta( after) phase: Centromeres of chromatid pairs line up at metaphase plate.
PMAT
3. Ana(apart) phase: Centromeres split; identical sets of chromosomes move to opposite poles of the cell.
4. Telo(end) phase: Nuclear envelopes and nucleoli reappear; chromosomes resume chromatin form; mitotic spindles disappear.
