Front

What are the four main phases of mitosis?

Back

Prophase, Metaphase, Anaphase, Telophase.

Front

What happens during prophase?

Back

Chromatin condenses into visible chromosomes, and the nuclear envelope begins to break down.

Front

What occurs during metaphase?

Back

Chromosomes line up at the cell's equator and spindle fibers attach to their centromeres.

Front

What is the role of spindle fibers during mitosis?

Back

Spindle fibers help separate the sister chromatids and move them to opposite poles of the cell.
