INTERPHASE This isn't actually part of Mitosis. The cell carries out normal function in preparation for Mitosis. The organelles within the cell replicate. |
| PROPHASE The chromosomes appear and the nuclear envelope disappears. | METAPHASE The chromosomes line up along the equator of the cell. Spindle fibres attach themselves to the centromere of the chromatid |
| ANAPHASE The centromeres divide as spindle fibres pull cromatids to separate sides of the cell. | TELOPHASE Cytokenisis occurs, this is where the cytoplasm divides in half forming the two daughter cells. the cell them returns back to interphase. |
