STAGES OF MITOSIS

INTERPHASE

• Considered as the resting phase for the
• Cell.
• Has three phases.

PROPHASE

• Each chromosome is composed of two
• Longitudinal halves.
• Divides the chromosomes into two arms.

METAPHASE

• Spindle fibers enter the nuclear region,
• Extend from the centrioles.
• Moves the chromosomes near the middle.

ANAPHASE

• The centromere divides and the two
• Chromatids separate from each other.
• Forming two identical daughter cells.

TELOPHASE

• The chromosomes separate from the cell.
• This phase ends mitosis.

CYTOKINESIS

• Begins the formation of two separate
• Cells.
• The cells now develop nuclei.
