MITOSIS

Cell Cycle

Telophase

the nucleus forms around each set of daughter chromosomes

the spindle disappears

Anaphase

separated chromatids move toward the opposite poles of the spindle apparatus

Metaphase

the cell's chromosomes condense and move together, aligning in the center of the dividing cell

nucleus dissolves

individual chromosomes are spread out in the cell nucleus

Prophase

separates the duplicated genetic material carried in the nucleus of a parent cell into two identical daughter cells

G2 Phase

protein synthesis

rapid cell growth

S Phase

DNA REPLICATION

G1 Phase

synthesizes mRNA and protein that are required for DNA synthesis

the cell grows in size
