Mitosis

In mitosis, there are five different stages. The first stage is interphase, next prophase, metaphase, anaphase, and last telephase. Interphase is the longest phase. In this phase, the centrioles begin to replicate, the DNA replicates, and all of the preparations are made to be ready for mitosis to take place. The chromatis is coiled up and consists of loose threads. In prophase, the next longest stage, the chromatin becomes chromatids which later form chromosomes. They …

The cell begins to pull apart into two separate cells at the cleavage aster. This process is called cytokinesis. The phases start all over by going into interphase again. This is how a cell replicates. It is a very interesting process to learn. It can help you understand cell division better than you did before.
