Above is an animated GIF of the different phases
of mitosis in a plant cell.
Phases Of Mitosis
Interphase - the period of the cell cycle during which the nucleus is not undergoing division, typically occurring between mitotic or meiotic divisions. Also called "Interkenesis"
Preprophase - Rarely used term to designate an extra sage of mitosis, normally included as part of prophase.
Prophase - the first stage of mitosis or meiosis in eukaryotic cell division, during which the nuclear envelope breaks down and strands of chromatin form into chromosomes.
Prometaphase - The stage of mitosis or meiosis in which the nuclear membrane disintegrates, the centrioles reach the poles of the cell, and the chromosomes continue to contract.
Metaphase - the stage in mitosis or meiosis in which the duplicated chromosomes line up along the equatorial plate of the spindle.
Anaphase - the stage in mitosis or meiosis following metaphase in which the daughter chromosomes move away from each other to opposite ends of the cell.
Telophase - the final stage of meiosis or mitosis, in which the separated chromosomes reach the opposite poles of the dividing cell and the nuclei of the daughter cells form around the two sets of chromosomes.
Cytokinesis - The division of the cell cytoplasm that usually follows miotic or meotic diision of the nucleus.
