2. Early Prophase

3. Late Prophase

4. Metaphase

5. Anaphase

6. Telophase

7. Early Protophase  First Stage of mitosis  Replicated chromosomes coil up into X-shaped chromosomes  Nucleolus disappears and nuclear membrane begins to break down  Spindle Fibres begin to form  Centrioles begin to move apart (Animal Cell)

8. Late Prophase  Centrioles complete forming  Spindle fibres and chromosomes attach at the centromeres  Nuclear membrane disappears

9. Metaphase  Spindle fibres tug at each other forcing the X- shaped chromosomes into a single line across the center

10. Anaphase  Spindle fibres contract and shorten  Centromere gets pulled apart  Sister chromatids are pulled to each poles of the cell  Sister chromatids are now considered chromosomes

11. Telophase  Final Stage of mitosis  One complete set of chromosomes are at each pole  Spindle Fibres disappear  Nucleolus and Nuclear membrane forms once again  Cell is ready to divide
