Sequence of growth and division in a cell.

Period of nuclear cell division in which two daughter cells are formed, each containing a complete set of chromosomes.

The first and longest phase of mitosis; chromatin coils into visible chromosomes, the nuclear envelope disappears, and the spindle forms.

Second phase of mitosis; chromosomes live up at the equator of the cell.

Third phase of mitosis; chromosomes split and are pulled apart.
