Mitosis

• Describe the stages of mitosis

  • Prophase - the chromatin condenses into chromosomes and the nucleolus disappears
  • Metaphase - chromosomes line up at the middle
  • Anaphase - chromosomes break at centromeres and sister chromatids move to opposite ends of the cell
  • Telophase - nuclear membrane reforms, nucleoli reappear, chromosomes unwind into chromatin
