Phases of <strong>Mitosis</strong><br />
The process of mitosis is divided into stages corresponding to the<br />
completion of one set of activities and the start of the next. These stages<br />
are prophase, metaphase, anaphase, and telophase. During mitosis, the<br />
chromosomes, which have already duplicated, condense and attach to<br />
spindle fibers that pull one copy of each chromosome to opposite sides of<br />
the cell.<br />
Prophase<br />
Anaphase<br />
Metaphase<br />
Telophase
Prophase<br />
Prophase is a stage of mitosis in which the chromatin condenses into<br />
double rod-shaped structures called chromosomes in which the chromatin<br />
becomes visible. This process, called chromatin condensation, is involved<br />
with the condensing complex
Anaphase<br />
Anaphase is the stage of mitosis when chromosomes are split and the<br />
sister chromatids move to opposite poles of the cell.
Metaphase<br />
Metaphase is a stage of mitosis in the eukaryotic cell cycle in which<br />
chromosomes are at their most condensed and coiled stage.
Telophase<br />
Telophase is the final stage in both meiosis and mitosis in a eukaryotic<br />
cell. During telophase, the effects of prophase and prometaphase are<br />
reversed.
