Terms in this set (5)

  • Interphase

    Interphase is the phase where the cell grows, performs normal functions, and duplicates its DNA in preparation for mitosis.

  • Prophase

    Prophase is the first stage of mitosis where chromatin condenses into visible chromosomes and the nuclear membrane begins to break down.

  • Metaphase

    Metaphase is the mitosis stage where chromosomes align at the cell's equator, attached to spindle fibers.

  • Anaphase

    Anaphase is when sister chromatids separate and move toward opposite poles of the cell.

  • Telophase

    Telophase is the final mitosis stage where chromosomes decondense, nuclear membranes reform, and the cell prepares to divide.
