Mitosis

Prophase

chromosomes condense

spindle starts to form

nuclear envelope disappears

Mitosis

Metaphase

chromosomes line up along the center

Spindle fibers connect to chromosomes

Mitosis

Anaphase

Sister chromatids separate and move to opposite ends of the cell

Mitosis

Telophase

Condensed chromosomes begin to spread out into chromatin.

Nuclear envelope

re-forms

Cytokinesis

division of the cytoplasm splits the parent cell into identical 2

daughter cells

CytokinesisAnimal Cells: membrane pinches inward

Plant Cells: cell plate develops from inside
