cell division in which the nucleus divides into nuclei containing the same number of chromosomes
spindle fibers
help pull apart the cell during replication and are made up of micrtubules
centrosomes
the two poles of the cell, the place where spindle fibers grow from.
centrioles
does something with spindle fibers.
interphase
cell grows
prophase
first and longest phase of mitosis, during which the chromosomes become visible and the centrioles separate and take up positions on the opposite sides of the nucleus
metaphase
second phase of mitosis, during which the chromosomes line up across the center of the cell
anaphase
the 3rd stage of meiosis or mitosis when chromosomes move toward opposite ends of the nuclear spindle
telophase
The final stage of mitosis or meiosis, during which a nuclear membrane forms around each set of new chromosomes
What are the phases of Mitosis
Interphase Prophase Metaphas Anaphase Telophase
What happens during telophase
cytokinesis-splitting of cytoplasm mitosis splitting of nuclus
Stages of interphase

DNA
Deoxyribosenucleic acid-forms the genetic material of all cells. Double helix structure
