Zygote to Blastula: Cell Division

At the beginning of Freddy's pregnancy Patrick starts off as nothing but a small cell. As the pregnancy continues he will go through mitosis. First, the chromosomes in the cell will spread out on opposite sides of the cell. Next, the spindle fibers will connect to the chromosomes and begin to pull apart.  This pulling motion will split the cell into two seperate cells, then this process will continue.
