What are the four stages of Mitosis?
Prophase, Metaphase, Anaphase, Telophase.
When all of the genes of the chromosomes are copied.
Interphase
The process of providing each new cell with a complete set of all genes.
Mitosis
Cell membrane disappears and like genes attach to each other usually forming an X shape.
Prophase
The genes line up in the center of the cell.
Metaphase
Genes move to edges of the cell along spindle fibers that have developed.
Anaphase
New genes uncoil spindle fibers disappear and nuclear membranes form around two nuclei.
Telophase
Having trouble remembering how the mitosis process order is: Remember this:
