What is mitosis::
Division of cells Has 4 stages 1 st - Prophase 2 nd – Metaphase 3 rd – Anaphase 4 th - Telophase What is mitosis:
Prophase:
Prophase Longest phase Chromosomes become visible Already duplicated Genetic materials condense Spindles
Metaphase:
Metaphase Second phase Double stranded chromosomes align lasts only a few minutes Spindle fibers align on the chromosome Centromere
Anaphase:
Anaphase Third phase Chromosomes split Becomes individual chromosomes Chromosomes move to opposite sides of the cell
Telophase:
Telophase Fourth and final phase also called C phase Cells split Disperse into a material Nuclear membrane forms around new chromosomes
