Mitosis

• Prophase is when the nuclear envelope breaks down, spindle fibers form, and centrioles move towards opposite poles.
• Interphase is the longest phase, during which DNA replicates to produce two identical copies of chromosomes.
• The cell cycle is the series of events that occur between one mitotic division and the next.
• Metaphase is where chromatids line up at the equator of the cell.
• Mitosis is the process by which cells divide into two daughter cells with an equal number of chromosomes.
• Cytokinesis is the final stage of mitosis where the cytoplasm divides to separate the two new nuclei.
• Anaphase is when sister chromatids separate and are pulled to opposite ends by spindle fibers.
