ACTIVITY 2
MITOSIS

Materials:
Pencil and Coloring materials
Procedure:
1. Draw the stages of mitosis based on the description of events
in each stage of mitosis indicated below
Directions: Match column A with column B to describe the events during
interphase.

A. Prophase
- First phase of mitosis
- The chromosome become shorter and thicker to repeated coiling
- The nuclear membrane starts to disappear which disintegrates the
well-defined nucleus
- The spindle fibers starts to form
- Centriole (if present) move towards opposite poles
B. Metaphase
- Second phase of mitosis
- Chromosomes line up in center or equatorial plate of the cells
- The centromeres of each chromosomes attaches to the spindle fibers
C. Anaphase
- Spindle fibers attached to the centriole pull the sister chromatids par
apart at their centromere
- Separated chromosomes travel along towards the two poles (ends) of
the cell.
D. Telophase
- Nuclear membrane forms at each end of the cell around the
chromosomes
- Nucleus reforms
- Spindle fibers begin to disappear
- cleavage furrow forms(animal cells), cell plate form (plants cells)

B.Guide questions:

Q1. Which stage of mitosis shows the packing of chromosomes?

Q2. What is the shortest stage of mitosis?

Q3 How many daughter cells are produced after mitosis?

Q4. Which stage shows the division of the nucleus? Explain your answer

Q5. What do you think is the importance of mitosis( which occur in body cells)?

Q6. Why do you think mitosis happens in body cells?

Q7. Why do you think cells need to undergo interphase prior to cell division?

Q8. What are the types of cell division
