FASE MITOSIS

Mitosis begins with prophase where chromatin threads shorten and thicken to form chromosomes. During prometaphase, microtubules emerge and the nuclear membrane dissolves, allowing each centriole to move towards opposite poles. In metaphase, centrosomes align at the cell's poles and chromosomes arrange themselves at the equatorial plate. Anafase sees chromatids separate and move towards opposite poles. In telophase, chromatids reach the poles and chromosomes transition back to chromatin threads; the nucleolus and nuclear membrane reform as the spindle fibers disappear. Cytokinesis follows, involving cytoplasm division and the formation of new cell walls, resulting in two daughter cells.
