What happens during mitosis?
There are several phases to mitosis: interphase, prophase, metaphase, anaphase, and telophase. In interphase, the cell duplicates it’s organelles and chromosomes, ready for mitosis. In prophase, the chromosomes condense, and in metaphase, the spindle attaches to the chromosomes. In anaphase, the spindle pull the pairs of chromosomes apart towards opposite poles of the cell. In telophase, a new nuclear envelope forms around the chromosomes at each pole. Finally, two daughter cells are formed, in a process called cytokinesis.
