Mitosis is the stage of the cell cycle during which
Interphase: - G1(Growth 1): The cell grows to accomodate new genetic information - S(synthesis): The cell duplicates its DNA for the two daughter cells - G2(Grwoth 2): The cell grows once again for there to be enough cytoplasm for the daughter cells Mitosis: -Prophase: Chromatin is organized into chromosomes, two centrosomes move to the poles of the cells, and the nuclear envelope breaks down -Prometaphase: The nuclear envelope is gone, the spindle fibers start to form, and the chromosomes start to move towards the equator of te cell -Metaphase: The chromosomes align in the middle of the cell -Anaphase: The chromosomes are split apart into chromatids by the spindle fibers and are starting to be pulled to opposite poles -Telophase: The chromatids are enveloped in a new nuclear envelope in the two new daughter cells making two seperate nuclei. Cytokinesis: The cells cytoplasm splits and forms the two new daughter cells which are identical to the parent cell. Both have their own nucleus and DNA.
