Video: Cell Cycle and Mitosis

The following video discusses the cell cycle and mitosis:

Phases of Mitosis

Table 1. Phases of Mitosis
Prophase	Prometaphase	Metaphase	Anaphase	Telophase	Cytokinesis

Chromosome condense and become visible Spindle fibers emerge from the centrosome Nuclear envelope breaks down Nucleolus disappears	Chromosomes continue to condense Kinetochores appear at the Centrosome Mitotic spindle microtubules attach to Kinetochores Centrosomes move toward opposite poles	Mitotic spindle is fully developed; centrosomes are at opposite poles of the cell Chromosomes are lined up at the metaphase plate Each sister chromatid is attached to a spindle fiber originating from opposite poles	Cohesion proteins binding the sister chromatids together break down Sister chromatids (now called chromosomes) are pulled toward opposite poles Non-kinetochore spindle fibers lengthen, elongating the cell	Chromosomes arrive at opposite poles and begin to de-condense Nuclear envelope material surrounds each set of chromosomes The mitotic spindle breaks down	Animal cells: a cleavage furrow separates the daughter cells Plant cells: a cell plant separates the daughter cells
