Description of Phase 1: Prophase http://www.nature.com/scitable/topicpage/mitosis-and-cell-division-205 What are sister chromatids? What happens to the sister chromatids during prophase? What is a centromere? What are nucleolus? What makes the end of prophase? Description of Phase 2: Prometaphase http://www.nature.com/scitable/topicpage/mitosis-and-cell-division-205

What is a nuclear envelope? Label each of the following on the image to the right: nuclear envelope, chromatid, kinetochore microtubules, astral microtubule, and mitotic spindle,

Description of Phase 3: Metaphase http://biology.about.com/od/mitosis/ss/mitosisstep_3.htm The ________ membrane disappears completely. The ________ line up along the ________ plate. What are centrioles? What holds the chromosomes in place during metaphase?

Description of Phase 4: Anaphase http://bio.rutgers.edu/~gb101/lab2_mitosis/section1_frames.html What occurs during anaphase? Make a drawing of a cell going through anaphase and label: sister chromatids, centromeres, spindle Description of Phase 5: Telophase/Cytokineses http://biology.about.com/od/mitosis/ss/mitosisstep_5.htm What are nuclei? What becomes uncoiled? Does the nuclear envelope begin to develop again? If so, ho does this occur? When things dont go as planned. http://education.seattlepi.com/happens-mitosis-goes-wrong-4202.html Name the 3 main errors that can occur listed. Give an example of a change in chromosome structure.
