MITOSIS

INTERPHASE

• It chromosomes to duplicate hereditary material.
• The nucleus becomes visible and then divides.
• Then the chromosomes coil and make two identical strands
• Those are called chromatids

PROPHASE

• Chromatids are fully visible under microscope
• Centrioles move to opposite ends
• Between them spindle fibers stretch across the cell

METAPHASE

• Chromatids line up across the center of the cell
• Then the two spindle fibers attach one from each side

ANAPHASE

• The spindle fibers shorten
• Each pair of chromatids separate and begin to move to opposite ends
• Chromatids are now chromosomes

TELOPHASE

• Spindle fibers start to disappear
• Chromosomes uncoil
• Two nuclei form
