We have been
talking all about cell division and we just learned about all the different
phases. There are 6 stages in cell division and it shows how it goes through
the process slowly: Metaphase, anaphase, telophase, interphase, prophase,
cytokinesis.
Interphase is where the cell spends most of its
life, it gets ready mitosis and looks through its DNA.
prophase the nucleus goes away and you start
seeing chromosomes together.
Metaphase shortest phase and the chromosomes
are lined up in the middle
Anaphase sister chromatids split.
Telophase chromatids start to uncoil, spindle
fibers break and the envelope appears.
Cytokinesis this is where the cells divide and
become 2
I really
have enjoyed going through all of this because I feel I am understanding about
it. I’m also glad we are spending some time on it so we can all get it
memorized. I find this really interesting and something to think about.(my
question) is how do the sister chromatids stay together and what physically
makes them let go of each other.
The shape of
the cell changes with the phases
You can see
on the inside how things can develop and go away like the nucleus.
To me this is
all just interesting because I love knowing what’s going on and this shows you
how it’s all happening!! Seeing cells replicate is really cool! To me it’s like
someone finding out that they are pregnant and seeing them grow a baby it’s
just amazing and I love seeing how that works.
