  • Steps on how mitosis works

    Here are the steps on how mitosis works and the phases it goes through.

  • Interphase

    The first thing mitosis goes through is interphase. Interphase is when the cell grows and strands of DNA within the cell replicate and divide into 2.

  • Prophase

    Prophase is the next thing that happens in mitosis which means chromosomes come together into an x shape structure called chromatids and the cell nucleus begins to breakdown.

  • Metaphase

    Metaphase is next which means structures called centrioles move to each side of the cell and the chromatids line up along a divided line.

  • Anaphase

    Anaphase is the next thing and that means the spindle fibers pull the chromatids towards opposite sides as the cell begins to split.

  • Telophase

    Telophase is when the nuclear membranes form around the sets of chromatids

  • Cytokinesis

    Lastly is Cytokinesis and that is when the rest of the cell divides.
