Stages of Mitosis
Interphase
cell makes enough for two cells, doubles in size, centrioles form, chromosomes duplicate
Cytokinesis
cell membrane pinches off to form two new identical cells
Metaphase
chromatid pairs line up in the center attached to spindle fibers
Anaphase
chromatids are pulled apart, now cell has two identical chromosomes
Prophase
nuclear membrane breaks, chromatids pair up in the middle, centrioles move to opposite sides, spindle fibers form
Telophase
two nuclear membranes form around the chromosomes = two nuclei, cell wall starts to form two new cells
