Chromosome doubles or replicates itself because the DNA molecule contained in the chromosome produces an exact copy of itself
Stage 2: Prophase
Nucleus starts to disintegrate and ready for cell division. Nucleus is disappearing
Stage 3: Metaphase
Nuclear membrane disappears; chromosomes align along the metaphase plate; spindle fibers form & attach to the centromeres of the chromosomes. Nucleus is gone
Stage 4: Anaphase
Chromosomes move towards the opposite poles of the cells pulled by the spindle fibers. separated / away
Stage 5: Telophase
Chromosomes are opposite places; a new nuclear membrane form around them & the spindle fibers disappear
Stage 6: Cytokinesis
Division of the cytoplasm, forming 2 separate daughter cells immediately after mitosis
