Interphase
The phase of the cell cycle where the cell grows, copies its DNA, and prepares for division; occurs before mitosis

Mitosis

The process of nuclear division that produces two genetically identical daughter cells, made up of interphase, prophase, metaphase, anaphase, and telophase

Prophase
First stage of mitosis where chromatin condenses into chromosomes and the nuclear envelope starts to break down

New cards
Metaphase
Second stage of mitosis where chromosomes line up along the metaphase plate at the cell's equator

New cards
Metaphase plate
The imaginary plane at the cell's equator where chromosomes align during metaphase
