Unit 1: Mitosis stage flip book
Biology 2016
Remember the cell theory and requirement for all living things? All living things
are made of cells and all cells come from other cells. In order for cells to come
from other cells, they must replicate (copy) their DNA and then divide to form
new cells.
Prokaryotes and eukaryotes divide in different ways. Review: prokaryotes do not
have a nucleus and their DNA is formed into a single “loop”. Eukaryotes always
contain a nucleus that has DNA and multiple chromosomes during division.
Instructions: Mitosis flipbook. To learn the cell division steps of eukaryote
mitosis---use a white piece of paper to make a flipbook. Use page 140 for
labeling and 141for stages. This flipbook is worth 33pts!
 Fold the paper hot dog style, then in half, then in half again so that you
end up with at least 8 squares.
 Cut out the squares and staple them together like a book.
 Title page: “Mitosis” (Cell Division in Eukaryotes)-AND write the purpose
of mitosis---Don’t forget your name! 2 point

On the next page: “table of contents” that states there are 2 stages and 4
phases of mitosis: Stage 1: 1-prophase, 2-metaphase, 3-Anaphase, 4telophase, and Stage 2: cytokinesis-The End 6 points
Each step below is worth 5pts each:
 Title the second page “Prophase” and draw the figure on page141. Be
sure to label (page 141) and draw all the parts—also add a label for the
nucleus. On the back of this page write the description for step 1 of
mitosis.
 The next page is Metaphase. Draw and label that stage-include a label
for the chromosomes. On the back write the description for step 2.
 Anaphase is the next page—draw that phase. On the back write the
description for 3—include explanation for difference between
chromatin, chromatid, and chromosome.
 Telophase is the last phase of cell division. Draw and label Telophase. Be
sure to describe on the back.
 Next page is cytokinesis. Draw 2 new identical daughter cells and label
the nucleus of each. Write the description “2 new daughter cells” in the
middle of the page.
 Finally, on the next page create a mnemonic phrase that you made up to
help learn the stages-example—“-example—“Please Make A Taco” or
“Pandas Make Adorable Twins”
 On the last page answer in complete sentence: Why are the daughter
cells of mitosis genetically identical to each other and the original cell?
