1. 4 phases of nuclear division (mitosis), directed by the cell’s DNA (PMAT)
Prophase
Metaphase—(Middle)
Anaphase—(Apart)
Telophase—(Two)
Draw this!

2. Prophase Chromosomes coil and become visible
Centrioles (or poles) appear and begin to move to opposite end of the cell. Spindle fibers form between the poles.
Nuclear membrane disappears.
Prophase

3. Metaphase
Chromosomes line up in the middle of the cell on the spindle fibers.

5. Anaphase Chromosome copies divide
Spindle fibers pull chromosomes to opposite poles

7. Telophase Chromosomes uncoil Nuclear membrane reforms
2 new nuclei are formed
Spindle fibers disappear

9. Stage 3: Cytokinesis Cytoplasm and cell organelles divide evenly
Two new cells are formed
No cell wall: cell pinches in two
Cell wall: cell plate forms to separate the cells
