1
Q
What are the stages of mitosis?
A
Prophase, Metaphase, Anaphase, Telophase
2
Q
What happens in prophase?
A
Sister chromatids condense to be visible under a light microscope. Nuclear envelope breaks down. Spindle fibres form centromere
3

What happens in metaphase?
A
Sister chromatids pulled to the equator. Spindle fibres attached at opposite ends
4

A
Fibres are pulled to edges of the cell
5
