Anaphase Spindle Fibers shorten, pulling sister chromatids apart and to opposite sides of cell. Metaphase Spindle Fibers attach to chromosomes and move them to the middle. I would focus on one structure at a time and draw its changes through several frames.ģ Prophase Metaphase Anaphase Telophase Nuclear Envelope disappearsĬhromatin condenses into Chromosomes (DNA shortens and thickens) Centrioles move to the poles Spindle Fibers begin to grow (late in prophase). Be sure to draw non-moving items the same size and in the same place in each frame. When you flip through it will appear to disappear. Example: The nuclear membrane disappears during prophase, so you would draw a solid line for the nuclear membrane, then a dashed line in the next frame, then dotted line in the next, then no membrane in the next. Remember: Mitosis starts after interphase, so the DNA is copied (attached at the centromeres), so there is actually 8 total sister chromatids, not yet condensed into short thick x-chromosomes. Structures to include: Nuclear Membrane, Centrioles, Spindle Fibers, and 4 strands of DNA. The perfect complement to any Life Science or Biology program, The Mitosis Flip Chart Set includes 10 double-sided, write-on/wipe-off charts which are spiral. Ask for help if you’re unsure how to make this happen. Once you’re finished drawing, cut out the frames and staple together in a staggered fashion so that they “flip” easily. To better keep track, you might want to make your drawings before cutting out the frames of the flip book. You can use a pencil to number the pages on the far left where the staples will go.

Option 1: If you want to hand draw your cartoon, you will need to draw panels.Presentation on theme: "Mitosis Flip Book This project allows you to make a “moving” animation. You have three class periods to complete your cartoon.

It can be serious or funny, as long as your facts are correct.

Now that you have your Handout completed, use that as your reference to create a cartoon strip that shows the phases and the main features of each phase.
