PROPHASE

• First stage of mitosis
• The cell's chromatin condenses
• Nuclear membrane disinegrates
• Spindle apparatus begins to form

METAPHASE

• Chromosomes attach to spindle apparatus
• They align in middle of cell

ANAPHASE

• Microtubules shorten
• Moves chromosomes to opposite poles

TELOPHASE

• Nuclear envelope reforms
• Chromosomes decondense
• Chromosomes reach poles of cell

G1

• Proteins and organelles are made
• Growth occurs
• Size increase

S-PHASE

• DNA is synthesized

G2

• Growth occurs
• Preparation for cell division
