Interphase is the longest stage of mitosis where the cell grows and replicates its DNA. During prophase, the chromosomes condense and the nuclear envelope breaks down. In metaphase, the chromosomes align in the center of the cell. Anaphase follows as the chromosomes are pulled to opposite sides of the cell. Finally, in telophase, the nuclear envelope reforms and the cell divides through cytokinesis to form two daughter cells.

2. Longest stage usually. This is when the cell starts to make proteins.Interphase

3. Growth and PreparationThis stage the cell still makes more protein but it also starts to grow in size

4. DNA ReplicationThe cell breaks down the DNA and then is split up into a copy for the new cell.

5. Continued Growth and PrepSpindle Fibres start to appear

7. Early Phrophase/MitosisChromosomes start to roll up tight and become lines

8. Nucleolus membrane starts to disappear

9. PhrosphaseSpindle fibres move to the poles of the cell and the nucleolus membrane starts to disappear and the chromosomes duplicate and becomes X shaped

10. Spindle Fibres grab chromsomes

11. MetaphaseThe spindle fibres then pull the chromosomes into the middle of the cell.

12. Anaphase The spindle fibres keep pulling and takes half of the chromosomes with them and the cell starts to stretch

13. TelophaseIn this phase the cell slowly moves apart and creates two new cells with the nucleolus membrane starts to show

20. CytokinesisThe coiled up chromosomes start to unwind, and then starts to unwind into chromatin.

21. Final stageThese are the two final cells. They look like there parents cells and are called daughter cells.
