MITOSIS
Mitosis is the process by which a single parent cell
divides to make two identical daughter cells.
INTERPHASE
The cell grows, replicates its
DNA to prepare for cell
division. This stage occurs
before mitosis commences.
PROPHASE
The chromosomes (genetic
material) condense (coil
tightly) and the nucleolus
disappears.
METAPHASE
The chromosomes align in the
centre of the cell and attach
to microtubules in preparation
to split apart.
ANAPHASE
Chromatids separate and
move to opposite ends of the
cell. This stage ensures that
each cell contains identical
chromosomes after splitting.
TELOPHASE
Two new nuclei form around
each set of chromosomes.
Chromosomes decondense
and the cells begin to split
from each other.
CYTOKINESIS
The cytoplasm of the parent
cell splits to form two identical
daughter cells.
