Unfortunately, as an AI text-based model, I am unable to provide images directly. However, I can describe the different stages of mitosis for you. You can then search for corresponding images online or in textbooks to create your own worksheet. Here is a brief description of the stages of mitosis:
-
Interphase: This is the phase before mitosis begins. The cell prepares for division by growing, replicating its DNA, and producing necessary proteins.
-
Prophase: The chromatin condenses into visible chromosomes. The nuclear membrane starts to break down, and the centrosomes move to opposite poles of the cell, forming spindle fibers.
-
Metaphase: The chromosomes align along the equator of the cell, known as the metaphase plate. The spindle fibers attach to the centromeres of each chromosome.
-
Anaphase: The spindle fibers contract, separating the sister chromatids of each chromosome. The chromatids move towards opposite poles of the cell.
-
Telophase: The separated chromatids reach the opposite poles of the cell. Nuclear membranes start to form around each set of chromosomes, and the chromosomes begin to decondense.
-
Cytokinesis: The cytoplasm divides, forming two daughter cells. Each daughter cell contains a complete set of chromosomes.
Remember, it would be beneficial to search for images or diagrams to accompany these descriptions for a comprehensive worksheet on mitosis.
