Growth and repair
3. What is the purpose of Mitosis? (1 pt)
To create two identical nuclei in preparation for cell division.

Phases
Description
Cytokinesis
Organelles and cytoplasm separate. The cell membrane pinches in and forms two new identical daughter cells.
Mitosis: Prophase
Chromatin coils and condenses into chromosomes. The nuclear membrane disappears.
Interphase
The cell is undergoing normal cell growth and functions. DNA is replicated.
Mitosis: Metaphase
Chromosomes line up along the equator (middle) and prepare to separate.
Mitosis: Telophase
Chromosomes finish separating and begin to relax back into chromatin. Two new nuclear membranes form. Cytokinesis
begins.
Mitosis: Anaphase
Spindle fibers pull sister chromatids apart and move them to opposite sides of the cell.
