Mitosis Summary

A stage of the cell cycle where cell division results in two daughter cells each having the same number and kind of chromosomes as the parent nucleus, typical of ordinary tissue growth.

First phase of mitosis in which duplicated chromosomes condense and spindle fibers begin to form.

• prophase
• anaphase
• metaphase
• telophase

Second phase of mitosis in which the chromosomes line up across the center of the cell.

• prophase
• anaphase
• metaphase

Third phase of mitosis in which the chromosomes separate and move to opposite ends of the cell.

• prophase
• anaphase
• metaphase
• telophase

The fourth phase of mitosis in which the chromosomes begin to stretch out and lose their rod-like appearance and a new nuclear membrane forms. The two new cells begin to seal off.

• prophase
• anaphase
• metaphase
• telophase

Final stage of the cell cycle: the division of the cytoplasm to form two separate daughter cells immediately after mitosis.

• mitosis
• cytokinesis
• cytoplasm
• cell splitting

Stage of the cell cycle when a cell grows, replicates DNA, and prepares to go through cell division (Mitosis).

• interphase
• prophase
• metaphase
• cytokinesis
