Study Notes

Mitosis Stages

Prophase:
- Chromosomes condense (from S phase, where they were composed of 2 chromatids connected by a centromere).
- The nuclear membrane and nucleolus disappear.
- Centrioles move to opposite ends of the cell.
- Spindle fibers (made of microtubules) extend from the centrioles.
Metaphase:
- Spindle fibers move chromosomes to the center of the cell.
Anaphase:
- Chromatids of each chromosome separate at the centromere.
- Spindle fibers pull chromatids towards centrioles at opposite ends of the cell.
Telophase:
- Spindle fibers disappear.
- Chromosomes return to chromatin form.
- Nuclear envelope and nucleolus reform.
