Mitosis
By Justin
Mitosis is the process of cell division which creates two daughter cells. Mitosis is concluded by four steps Prophase, Metaphase, Anaphase and lastly Telophase. Mitosis can be as quick as a few minutes and sometimes as slow as several days, the process is not time dependent.
If you would compare to a wedding to Mitosis, Prophase would be similar to the preparation because in weddings preparation is the first step that is taken and it’s where most of the time is spent. During Prophase chromosomes come to sight, centrioles separate to opposite sides of the nucleus, the nucleolus disappears and the nuclear envelope breaks down.
The next step into Mitosis would be Metaphase, this can be compared to the wedding reception because these to processes are very quick and they do not take very much time. Although during Metaphase the chromosomes are lined up across the center of the cell and microtubules connect the centromere of each chromosome to poles of spindle.
Following up Metaphase would be Anaphase; this would be matched up with the wedding party which would occur after the reception. Lots of different actions are going on during Anaphase; centromers are separating along with sister chromatids allowing them to become individual chromosomes and Anaphase ends when the chromosomes stop moving.
At the end of the wedding the clean up begins it could be resembled as Mitosis’s last phase Telophase. Telophase causes chromosomes to disperse into a tangle of dense material. A nuclear envelope is formed around the chromosomes, the spindle breaks apart and the nucleolus becomes visible in each daughter nucleus.
