A body composed of DNA, which can be seen in a nucleus during mitosis

• Chromosomes

• Organelles

• Endoplasmic Reticulum

Stage in which the cell prepares to split. Everything gets ready. The chromosomes become visible.

• metaphase

• prophase

• anaphase

Stage in which both sets of DNA Meet in the middle of the cell - the chromosomes line up in the middle of the cell.

• prophase

• anaphase

• metaphase

This stage happens right before cytokinesis. The final phase of cell division when the chromosomes have moved to opposite ends of the cell and two nuclei are formed.

• anaphase

• metaphase

• telophase
