Cytokinesis separates the nuclei into two daughter cells which are identical to the original cell. There are two nuclei in the cell, now it’s about to divide.Ĭytokinesis This is the final stage in mitosis. Telophase The spindle fibres begin to disappear, and a nuclear membrane forms around the chromosomes.

Once they separate, each chromatid is a chromosome. Metaphase The spindle fibres tug the X shaped chromosomes into a line across the middle of the cell.Īnaphase The spindle fibres begin to contract and shorten which pulls the centromere apart to let the sister chromatids move to the opposite sides of the cell. The spindle fibres have fully formed, and they attach themselves to the centromeres. Late Prophase The nucleus has completely disappeared.

A master is included that shows an example of each frame finished. Once the book is assembled, the students can flip through the pages and it will create a visual that looks as it the cell is actually dividing. E N D - Presentation TranscriptĮarly Prophase The nuclear membrane and the nucleolus start to disappear. Activity for students to build a flip book that shows the stages of mitosis.
