Cell Division/Mitosis

prophase - metaphase - anaphase - telophase

Chromosomes condense, the nuclear envelope breaks down, and spindle fibers begin to form.

The stage of mitosis where chromosomes line up at the cell's equator.

Sister chromatids are pulled apart to opposite sides of the cell.

Chromatids reach the poles, nuclear envelopes reform, and chromosomes begin to de-condense.

The phase of the cell cycle where the cell grows and DNA is replicated, but mitosis does not occur.

Metaphase.

To help separate the chromosomes during mitosis.

Mitosis is essential for growth, development, and tissue repair in multicellular organisms.

The process that follows mitosis, where the cytoplasm divides to form two separate cells.
