- Hello, my name is Bob, and I am just a simple cell. We could talk about me all day, but the real reason I am here today is to teach you how my fellow cells go through cell division, also known as mitosis! For a basic understanding, mitosis is when a cell divides into two daughter cells that are identical. Mitosis helps your body by replacing, repairing, and reproducing your cells.
- Metaphase
- For our first trip, we look at what happens in Interphase. In interphase, the cells will do normal cell things. At this point, mitosis has not started, but the chromatin needs to replicate or duplicate itself.
- Anaphase
- The first phase of mitosis is the prophase. In the prophase, we will see the chromatin turn into a tight packaged chromosome. When the chromosomes are tight and packaged, you should know that the halves of the chromosomes are called sister chromatids. These sister chromatids are both identical. Then the chromosomes need to split up so they move to opposite ends. Lastly, the nucleus will disintegrate.
- Telophase
- Our next journey will take us to the metaphase. In the metaphase stage, we will see the chromosomes in a single file line in the middle of the cell.
- Next, we have anaphase, the A in PMAT. In anaphase, you will see the daughter chromatids split up into different poles of the cell. This creates two chromatids on top and two on the bottom.
- In telophase, two diploid daughter cells are formed. Then, the two newly formed cells make a nucleus. Lastly, the chromosomes uncoil to to form chromatin.
