Part one of term paper
Cells can divide in three ways, binary fission, mitosis, and meiosis. Prokaryotes reproduce by binary fission in which the cell basically divides in half. The single, circular DNA, attached to the plasma membrane, duplicates, and the cell begins to grow. Continued growth of the cell separates the chromosomes, and eventually the plasma memb ...

... chromosomes occur in the S phase, and final preparations for occur in the G2 phase. Actual occurs in M phase (mitosis). Mitosis has four sub-phases, prophase, metaphase, anaphase, and telophase. In prophase, the nucleoli disappears and the chromatin fibers become discrete chromosomes. The mitotic spindle also beings to form and the centrioles begin to move towards opposite ends of the cell. Also occurring later in prophase, the nuclear envelope fragments, and the microtubles attach to the k ...
