Prokaryotic Cells Binary

Fission1. Chromosome make a copy

of itself.

2. The prokaryotic cell grows until it is almost twice its

original size.

3. Cell splits into two cells, each containing a complete

chromosome.

Eukaryotic Cells

MITOSIS* Mitosis is the process where a cell divides to produce two cells.

* Mitosis is a division of nucleus.

FOUR PHASES

I. PROPHASE Chromosomes become visible by shortening

and coiling

II. METAPHASE

Chromosomes align

themselves in the middle of

the dividing cell.

III. ANAPHASEEach member of a chromosome pair separates and begins to

move toward the opposite end of

the cell.

IV. TELOPHASEThe cell begins to

divide into two new cells as the chromosomes reach opposite ends of the cell.

INTERPHASE

Interphase is the stage

where each chromosome makes a copy

of itself.
