Mitosis review

A four-stage process that creates two identical cells from one original cell; the process in which a eukaryotic cell nucleus splits in two, followed by division of the parent cell into two daughter cells.

The first and longest stage of mitosis. In this stage the chromosomes become visible and the centrioles separate and move to opposite poles of the cell.

The fourth and last stage of mitosis. During this stage the chromosomes gather at opposite ends of the cell and lose their distinct rod-like shapes. Two new nuclear membranes then form around each of the two regions of DNA and the spindle fibers disa

A period of cell growth and normal activity. This period comes between mitosis cycles. Cells that do not need to replicate will spend their time in this stage. If a cell does need to divide, it will copy all of it's DNA while in this period.

two or more cells formed in the division of a parent cell.

The process following the last stage of mitosis. With two complete copies of the DNA now in two different regions of one cell, the cell membrane will pinch and divide the cytoplasm in half resulting in two cells identical to the parent cells.

The third stage of mitosis. In this stage the sister chromatids separate into individual chromosomes and are pulled apart.

New organisms produced by a living thing.
