Mitosis

1
Mitosis

• Cell division occurs in a series of stages or
  phases.

2
Interphase

• Chromosomes are copied
• Chromosomes appear as thread like coils at the
  start but each chromosome and its copy change to
  sister chromatids at the end of this point

3
Prophase

• Mitosis begins
• Centrioles appear and begin to move to the
  opposite ends of the cell
• Spindle fibers form between the poles

4
Metaphase

• Chromatids attach to the spindle fibers

5
Anaphase

• Chromatids separate and begin to move to opposite
  ends of the cell

6
Telophase

• Two new nuclei form
• Chromosomes appear as chromatin
• Mitosis ends

7
Cytokinesis

• Cell membrane moves inward to create two daughter
  cells each with its own nucleus with identical
  chromosomes
