4-Cell-Cell Cycle-Mitosis-Phases

prophase of mitosis

First mitosis phase {prophase, mitosis} doubles chromosomes. Chromosomes condense, and human chromosomes have 350 to 550 bands. RNA-containing spindle-pole body centrosomes separate to cell sides. Microtubules form between centrosomes. Chromosome kinetochores attach to microtubules.

metaphase

Second mitosis phase {metaphase} pairs chromosomes. Chromosomes align halfway between centrosomes.

anaphase

Third mitosis phase {anaphase} separates chromosomes on spindles. Chromosomes move toward spindle poles.

telophase

Last mitosis phase {telophase} splits cell nucleus. Poles move apart.

interphase

Between mitoses, long phase {interphase} includes gap-1, S, and gap-2 stages.
