Briefly describe the stages of mitosis
Interphase: DNA in chromosomes replicates to have double copies of itself for mitosis. 1. Prophase: DNA in chromosomes condenses therefore becomes more visible and the nucleus membrane disappears. 2. Metaphase: Chromosomes line up in the centre (equator) of the cell bound via centrioles at their centromeres. 3. Anaphase: Chromosomes break at centromeres and sister chromatids move to opposite ends of the cell. 4. Telophase: New nuclear membranes forms around the chromosomes at each end of cell. Nucleoli (multiple nucleus) reappear and cell continues to elongate. Cytokinesis: Cell membrane pinches in causing parent cell to divide into 2 identical daughter cells.
