Image: mitosis

majority of cell cycle is in this phase; where a cell carries out cell processes and replicates DNA prior to cell division (includes G1, S, and G2)

Image: interphase

nuclear membrane disappears; chromatin pairs are visible; spindle fibers form; centrioles move to opposite sides

Image: prophase

Chromosomes line up in the middle of the cell; spindle fibers connect to chromosomes at the centromere

Image: metaphase

Sister chromatids separate

Image: anaphase

nuclear membranes reform; cell begins to pinch; spindle fibers disappear

Image: telophase

Each half of the chromosome

Image: chromatid

A doubled rod of condensed chromatin; contains DNA that carries genetic information

Image: chromosome

Area where the chromatids of a chromosome are attached
