| mitosis | 2nd stage of cell division that includes 4 phases (prophase, metaphase, anaphase, & Telophase) |
| prophase | the nuclear membrane disappears and the chromosomes coil up and the spindle begins to form; sister chromatids are attached forming an X shaped chormasome |
| metaphase | chromosomes line up at the center of the spindle |
| anaphase | each pair of sister chromatids sperate into two L shaped chromosomes and begin to migrate |
| telophase | chromosomes reach end of spindle and begin to uncoil; spindal disappears; new nuclear membrandes form around each group resulting in two nuclei |
