๐Ÿ“š Quick Study Guide

  • ๐Ÿงฌ Mitosis: Cell division that results in two identical daughter cells.
  • ๐ŸŒฑ Interphase: The cell grows and prepares for division (G1, S, G2 phases).
  • ๐Ÿ‘ฏ Prophase: Chromosomes condense and become visible; the nuclear envelope breaks down.
  • ๐Ÿงต Metaphase: Chromosomes line up along the metaphase plate in the middle of the cell.
  • ๐Ÿ–๏ธ Anaphase: Sister chromatids separate and move to opposite poles of the cell.
  • โœŒ๏ธ Telophase: Chromosomes arrive at the poles, the nuclear envelope reforms, and cytokinesis begins.
  • ๐Ÿ”ช Cytokinesis: The division of the cytoplasm, resulting in two separate daughter cells. In animal cells, a cleavage furrow forms; in plant cells, a cell plate forms.
  • ๐ŸŽฏ Centromere: The region where sister chromatids are joined.
  • โœจ Spindle Fibers: Structures made of microtubules that help separate the chromosomes.
  • ๐Ÿงฎ Formula for Mitosis: 1 cell $\rightarrow$ 2 identical cells
