• Interphase—the introduction of the Mitosis
Cycle

3. Prophase
In Prophase, the chromosomes begin to coil.
The centrioles then move to the poles of the
cell. Then polar fibers start to form around the
centrioles in star shapes. They grow towards
the equator where they line up with the
centromeres. Later, they move the
chromosomes. The nuclear envelope now
disintegrates.

4. Metaphase
Metaphase is where chromosomes line up along
the metaphase plate (equator of the cell).

5. Anaphase
In Anaphase, a string-like substance
the sister chromatids separate at the
centromeres, thus can now be called
chromosomes. These are pulled to the poles
of the cell by the mitotic spindle.

6. Telophase
In Telophase,
the new daughter nuclei and nuclear envelopes
start to reform and the chromosomes uncoil.
Telophase frequently includes the start of
Cytokinesis.

7. Cytokinesis
In Cytokinesis, a crack begins to form in the
middle and breaks the cells in two.
