A type of cell division that produces new cells for growth and to replace old and damaged cells.

Not part of mitosis but much longer phase before the cell splits.

Spindles are formed by microtubules.

Chromosomes line at the center of the plate.

Sister chromatid split and move to opposite side of the cell.

New nuclear envelope is formed using parts of the parent cell nuclear membrane.

Stage when cytoplasm starts to divide.

Interphase	Not part of mitosis but much longer phase before the cell splits.
Prophase	Spindles are formed by microtubules.
Metaphase	Chromosomes line at the center of the plate.
Anaphase	Sister chromatid split and move to opposite side of the cell.
Telophase	New nuclear envelope is formed using parts of the parent cell nuclear membrane.
Cytokinesis	Stage when cytoplasm starts to divide.
