Miotic spindle
|
Assists distribution of chromosomes
- contains many fibers each composed of bundles of microtubles are made of tublin protein |
Prophase |
- nucleoli dissaper
- duplicated chromosome - centrosome move away from each other |
Centromere
|
- organize spindle
MTOC- microtuble organizing center divides before mitosis |
Aster
|
Radial array of short microtubles
|
Kinectochore
|
A structure of protein associated with specific chromosonal DNA at the centrosome
|
Prometaphase |
- nuclear envelope breaks down
- microtubles move towrd center of cell - some of the microtubles attact to kinectochore jerk chromosome back and forth |
Metaphase |
- Centrosomes are now at opposite ends of cell
- For each chromosome the kinetchores attach to a sister chromatids -last about 20 min longest stage - chromosomes lie on metaphase plate |
Anaphase |
- shortest stage
- two sister chromatids part |
Telophase |
- two daughter cells begin to form
- nuclear envelope arises from the fragments - chromose becomes less condensed - Mitosis division of one nucleus into two nuclei is complete |
Cytokinesis
|
- the division of the cytoplasm is usually well underway
- formation of clevage furrow |
Clevage furrow
|
- indentation of plama memberance pinches the cell together
