Phases of mitosis & Cell Cycles

Prophase

The first phase of mitosis where chromatin condenses into chromosomes

Metaphase

The phase where chromosomes align along the metaphase plate in the center of the cell

Anaphase

The phase where sister chromatids are pulled apart toward opposite poles of the cell

Telophase

The phase where nuclear envelopes reform around the separated chromosomes

Cytokinesis

The final stage where the cytoplasm divides

Interphase

The phase of the cell cycle that consists of G1

Mitosis (M phase)

The phase of the cell cycle where the cell undergoes mitosis and divides its nucleus

Cytokinesis

The process that follows mitosis where the cytoplasm divides

G1 phase

The first phase of interphase where the cell grows and performs normal functions

S phase

The phase of interphase where DNA replication occurs

G2 phase

The final phase of interphase where the cell checks for DNA damage and prepares for mitosis.
