A
Interphase
2
Q
What happens in the cells division phase?
A
It splits into two to create two new cells
3
Q
What are the four phases of mitosis in order?
A
Prophase, metaphase, anaphase. telophase
4
Q
What happens in prophase and what step is it?
A
Nuclear membrane disappears. Chromatin (DNA) clumps into chromosomes. First step
5
Q
What happens in metaphase and what step ?
A
Chromosomes align to the centre of the cell. Second step
6
Q
what happens in anaphase and what step?
A
Chromosomes separate to opposite ends of the cell. Third step
7
Q
what happens in telophase and what step
A
2 new nuclear membranes form. Final step
8
Q
What happens after mitosis
A
Cytokinesis
9
