DNA synthesis
The DNA replication takes place
The copied chromosomes contain two sister
chromatids which are identical
Cell preparing for division(mitosis)
The cell grows,produces organelles,protein
and membrane
Nucleus is well-defined
Chromosome duplication completed
DNA loosely packed in long chromatin fibres
1. Interphase
This is the resting or non-
METAPHASE
The chromosomes
lined up on the
cell equator which
is the metaphase
plate
The spindle fibres
are formed
completely
ANAPHASE
Spindle attached to
Early anaphase
Late anaphase
kinetochores begin to
shorten
This exerts a force on the
sister chromatids and
pulls them apart
Spindle fibres continue to
shorten,pulling
chromatids to opposite
poles of the cell
TELOPHASE
Both chromosomes have
Cytokinesis
Cytokinesis is the process of the cytoplasm division

To ensure that organisms can grow and
develop normally
To help in repairing damage cells and tissues
for the survival of life
Cloning of sheep
important to:
Produce genetically identical organs for
transplantation
Produce human tissues
Repopulate endangered species
Disadvantages
