List the stages of mitosis in order.

Back

Prophase, Metaphase, Anaphase, Telophase

Front

What happens during Prophase?

Back

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

Front

What occurs during Metaphase?

Back

Chromosomes align at the cell's equatorial plane.

Front

What is Anaphase?

Back

The phase where sister chromatids are pulled apart to opposite poles of the cell.

Front

What happens during Telophase?

Back

Nuclear membranes reform around each set of chromosomes, which begin to de-condense.

Front

What is cytokinesis?

Back

The process that follows mitosis, dividing the cytoplasm and organelles into two daughter cells.
