in the beginning of class we went on the computers and we started working on our presentations.
Our presentations are about the cell cycle including these parts:
-Interphase (growth, DNA replication, and preperation for cell division)
-Prophase
-Mataphase
-Anophase
-Telophase

On friday we took pictures with our phones after we organized what the cell looks like in each phase, and now we are writing about what happens in each phase.

in INTERPHASE, the DNA duplicates to prepare for mitosis. in interphase the nucleus isnt completely visible.


in PROPHASE, the nuclear membrane dissolves so that you cant see it anymore. the chromotin becomes chromosomes. the centrosome becomes 2 centrials and they move to opposite sides of the cell.



in MEAPHASE, the centromere is connected to the centrials by spindle fibers. the spindle fibers align chromosomes inside the cell.



in ANAPHASE, the paired chromosomes seperate at the kinetochores and move to opposite sides of the cell.


in TELAPHASE, the new membranes form around the daughter nulcei while the chromosomes disperse are not vivible inside the light of the microscope. Cytokenisis can also begin during this stage.



Chromosomes: coiled DNA

Chromatin: uncoiled DNA
