During interphase, the cell carries out various functions and the chromatin is unwound. In prophase, the nuclear membrane and nucleolus begin to disappear and spindle fibers start to form. By late prophase, the spindle fibers are complete and attach to centromeres. In metaphase, the chromosomes align in the center. In anaphase, the chromosomes split in half and move to opposite sides. Telophase ends mitosis as the nuclear membrane and nucleolus reappear. Cytokinesis then separates the two new daughter cells.

2. InterphaseAt this point in the cell, various functions are carried out in the cell. The chromatin is unwinded and the nuclear membrane and nucleolus is seen.

7. Mitosis (Prophase)Early Prophase: At this stage, The Spindle fibres start to form, the nuclear membrane begins to disappear, as well as the nucleolus.

9. Mitosis (Late Prophase)Spindle fibres complete forming. Spindle fibres attach to centromeres, and the nucleus disappears.

11. MetaphaseIn metaphase, the spindle fibres pull the chromosomes into a horizontal line across the cell.

13. AnaphaseThe spindle fibres continue to pull on the chromosomes and the chromosomes split in half and start splitting towards the opposite sides of the cell.

16. TelophaseAt this stage, the final stage of mitosis, the nuclear membrane begins to form, the nucleolus is visible and the spindle fibres disappear.

18. CytokinesisAt this point of the cell cycle, the two daughter cells separate and are two equal cells.
