This process of events is called mitosis (1)
-
Mitosis includes these stages: Interphase, Prophase, Metaphase, Anaphase, Telophase/Cytokinesis (1)
-
DNA replication occurs in Interphase (1)
-
Prophase - chromosomes supercoil and nuclear membranes break down (1)
-
Metaphase - chromosomes align themselves at the equator and the spindle fibres attach themselves to the centromeres (2)
-
Anaphase - spindle fibres pull chromosomes to opposite poles (1)
-
Telophase - nuclear membrane forms again and cytokinesis splits new cells into two (2)
