During interphase

• DNA lines up in the middle of the cell and DNA attaches to spindle fibers

• 2 new nuclei form

• 2 new identical cells are created

• DNA gets copied

During prophase

• DNA lines up in the middle of the cell and DNA attaches to spindle fibers

• DNA condenses into chromosomes, centrioles and spindle fibers appear

• 2 new identical cells are created

• DNA gets copied

What is the purpose of mitosis?

• To increase the surface area of a cell
• To allow cells to divide for growth, repair, and renewal
• For increasing genetic variation within a species
• To allow for DNA replication and protein synthesis
