Flashcards
Interphase
Interphase
The first stage of mitosis where the cell grows, replicates its DNA, and centrioles.
Prophase
Prophase
Chromatin condenses into chromosomes, centrioles separate, and the nuclear envelope breaks down.
Metaphase
Metaphase
Chromosomes line up across the center of the cell connected to spindle fibers at their centromeres.
