2. Interphase
• The cell undergoes normal growth and
metabolic activities. During this phase,
the DNA in the nucleus is replicated to
ensure that each daughter cell receives
a complete set of genetic information.
3. PROPHASE
• Chromosomal material condense
to form compact mitotic
chromosomes.
• Initiation of the assembly of
mitotic spindle, and the
microtubule,
• The nuclear envelope begins to
break down, releasing the
chromosomes into the
cytoplasm.
4. Metaphase
• The mitotic spindle is fully
formed and attaches to the
centromeres of the sister
chromatids.
• The chromosomes align along
the metaphase plate, an
imaginary plane equidistant
between the two poles of the
cell.
5. Anaphase
• The sister chromatids are
separated as the
centromere splits.
• As a result, each pole
receives an identical set
of chromosomes.
