4️⃣Anaphase - Sister chromatid separation: The spindle fibers shorten, pulling the sister chromatids (identical halves of a chromosome) apart to opposite poles of the cell. Spindle attachment Spindle fibers attach to the centromere of each chromosome. 3️⃣Metaphase - Chromosome alignment: Chromosomes line up at the cell's equator, known as the metaphase plate.
Spindle formation: Structures called spindles begin to form from centrioles, which will help in moving chromosomes later. Nuclear envelope breakdown: The protective barrier around the nucleus dissolves. 2️⃣ Prophase - Chromatin condensation: The DNA condenses into visible chromosomes. Here are the steps, each with a brief explanation: 1️⃣ Interphase The cell prepares for division by increasing its size and replicating its DNA. It's crucial for growth, repair, and reproduction in organisms.
Mitosis is the process by which a cell into two identical daughter cells.
