Mitosis

• PROPHASE: Chromosomes condense (visible)
• PROPHASE: Nuclear envelope and nucleolus disappear (fragments)
• PROPHASE: Centrosome divides into centrioles = migrate to opposite poles
• PROPHASE: formation of microtubules of mitotic spindle
• METAPHASE: Chromosomes are highly condensed
• METAPHASE: Kinetochore microtubules direct movement of chromosomes toward the middle of the cells (Equatorial Plate)
• ANAPHASE: sister chromatids = separate chromosomes move toward opposite sides
• ANAPHASE: Shortening of kinetochore microtubules attached to centrosomes
• LATE ANAPHASE: formation of cleavage furrow
• TELOPHASE: chromosomes decondense
• TELOPHASE: nucleolus reappears, RER forms a new nuclear envelope
• TELOPHASE: cytokinesis = constriction of cytoplasm or cleavage for separation of daughter cells
