Mitosis: Cell Division Explained
undefined
Stages Of Mitosis
Interphase -
The in between stage -
Originally metaphase was thought to be a
resting stage now we know that this is the
stage most cells spend their time in doing
the things that cells do and, if they are
preparing to divide, growing and replicating
their DNA
Stages Of Mitosis
Prophase -
The beginning phase - DNA which was
unraveled and spread all over the nucleus is condensed
and packaged
Metaphase -
Middle stage - Condensed chromosomes
line up along the equator of the cell
Anaphase -
One copy of each chromosome moves to
each pole of the cell
Telophase -
End stage - New nuclear membranes are
formed around the chromosomes and cytokinesis
(cytoplasm division) occurs resulting in two daughter
cells
Stages Of Mitosis

Centromeres

Mitosis is the process of cell division crucial for growth and repair in living organisms. It consists of stages like Interphase, Prophase, Metaphase, Anaphase, and Telophase. Each stage plays a vital role in ensuring accurate replication and distribution of genetic material. Visualization of chromosomes, chromatids, and centromeres helps in comprehending the intricate details of mitosis.
