1. 1) Prophase - DNA condenses to form visible chromosomes
- The FIRST phase of Mitosis (after interphase)
- DNA condenses to form visible chromosomes
- Nucleus is starting to dissolve

2. 2) Metaphase - The SECOND phase of Mitosis
- Chromosomes line up in the middle
(M for middle)
- Centromeres are same distance from each side of the cell

3. 3) Anaphase - The THIRD phase of Mitosis
- Chromatids (half of the “X”) separate and move away to either side of the cell
(A for away)
- Spindle fibers pull them apart

4. 4) Telophase - The FINAL phase of Mitosis (before cytokinesis)
- New nuclei form around chromosomes
- One identical set of chromosomes (DNA) are in each nuclei
