1
Q
Mitosis
A
prophase, prometaphase, metaphase, anaphase, telophase, followed by cytokinesis
2
Q
Mitosis: prophase
A
chromosomes are visibly separate, and each duplicated chromosome has 2 noticeable sister chromatids
3
Q
Mitosis: prometaphase
A
nuclear envelope disappears, chromosomes begin to attach to the spindle thats forming along the axis of the cell
4
Q
Mitosis: Metaphase
A
Begins with all the chromosomes aligning along the chromosome plate or the center of the cell
5
Q
Mitosis: Anaphase
A
Begins when chromosomes start to separate, chromatids are considered separate chromosomes
6
Q
Mitosis: Telophase
A
Chromosomes gather on either side of the now separating cell
7
