Mitosis
Cytokinesis:
division of cell
DNA Synthase
Chromosomes: a threadlike structure of
nucleic acids and protein found in the
nucleus of most living cells, carrying genetic
information in the form of genes.
Spindle Fibers:In cell
biology, spindle apparatus refers to the
subcellular structure that segregates
chromosomes between daughter cells during
cell division. It is also referred to as the
mitotic spindle during mitosis or the meiotic
spindle during meiosis.


Centrioles: a minute cylindrical organelle near
the nucleus in animal cells, occurring in pairs
and involved in the development of spindle
fibers in cell division.
Asters: a star-shaped structure formed during
division of the nucleus of an animal cell.
Centromeres: the point on a chromosome by
which it is attached to a spindle fiber during cell
division.
Sister Chromatids: Sister chromatids are
generated when a single chromosome is
replicated into two copies of itself, these copies
being called sister chromatids.

Mitosis is nuclear division plus cytokinesis,
and produces two identical daughter cells

Prophase

centromeres
Spindle fibers align
the chromosomes
along the middle of
the cell nucleus.
The paired
chromosomes
separate at the
kinetochores and
move to opposite
sides of the cell.
Chromatics arrive at opposite poles of the nucleus.
New membranes form around the daughter nuclei.
Daughter nuclei
The cell is pinched into two daughter cells, each with one
nucleus, due to the center of the cell contracting.
The rigid wall requires that a cell plate be synthesized between the
two daughter cells.
