• M phase


  The dividing phase of the cell cycle
• Interface


  The non-dividing phase of the cell cycle
• Mitosis


  1. Prophase

  2. Prometaphase

  3. Metaphase

  4. Anaphase

  5. Telophase
• Nucleus


  • Divides in a process called Kinesis
• Cytoplasm


  • Divides in a process called Cyesis
• Prophase


  Chromosomes condense, sister chromatids form, spindle fibers develop
• Prometaphase


  Nuclear membrane fragments, kinetochore forms, microtubules attach to chromosomes
• Metaphase


  Chromosomes align at the metaphase plate, kinetochores attached to microtubules from opposite poles
• Anaphase


  Sister chromatids separate and move to opposite poles as microtubules shorten
• Telophase


  Nuclear envelope reforms, chromosomes decondense, spindle microtubules disintegrate
• Cytokinesis


  1. In animal cells: cleavage furrow forms

  2. In plant cells: cell plate assembles
• Mitosis results in two daughter cells with the same number of chromosomes as the parent cell
• Mitosis allows for growth, wound healing, and hair growth
