Cytokinesis The rest of the cell divides. Cytokinesis, the division or the cell’s cytoplasm, is now complete. Two daughter cells are present and each one has an identical set of chromosome as the original cell.

Anaphase The fibers from the centrioles begin to tug the chromatids towards opposite ends of the cell. Half of the chromosomes go to one side and the other half go to the other.

Prometaphase The centrioles begin to attach their fibers to the chromosomes and move to the opposite ends of the cell in preparation for the next phase of mitosis.

Interphase The resting phase between successive divisions of a cell. The cell performs its normal cell activities during this phase

Prophase The first stage of cell division during which the chromosomes become visible as paired chromatids and the nuclear envelope begins to fragment and disappear.

Telophase The chromosomes are now on opposite ends of the cell. A new nuclear membrane forms around each of the sets of chromosomes.

Metaphase The chromosomes align along the middle of the cell on the metaphase plate, an imaginary line that divides the cell in two.
