Mitosis When a cell duplicates it’s chromosomes and the nucleus splits and forms two new daughter cells.
4 Steps • Interphase • Prophase • Metaphase • Anaphase • Telophase
Interphase • Chromosomes make a copy of themselves.
Prophase • Copies of chromosomes fasten together • Nuclear membrane disappears.
Metaphase • Chromosomes line up along the center.
Anaphase • Chromosomes split apart and are pulled to opposite ends of cells.
Telophase • Chromosomes become hard to see; cells split and 2 nuclear membranes form. • Two daughter cells are formed.
