| A | B |
| Interphase | Cell grows |
| Interphase | DNA is duplicated |
| Interphase | Cell prepared for division |
| Interphase | NOT part of mitosis |
| Prophase | DNA and proteins start to condence |
| Prophase | The microtubules are assembled and move on to two centroile pairs toward the opposite end of the cell |
| Prophase | Nuclear enevlope starts to break up |
| Prophase | First stage in mitosis |
| Metaphase | Microtubules get through the nuclear region and form a winding thread matrial |
| Metaphase | Microtubules attach to sister chromatids of each chromosome |
| Metaphase | Chromosomes line up at the middle of thread |
| Metaphase | Second stage in mitosis |
| Anaphase | Attachments between two sister chromatids of each chromosome break and are now seperate chromosomes that move to opposite thread poles |
| Anaphase | Third stage in mitosis |
| Telophase | Chromosomes seperate |
| Telophase | New membrane matrial fills in gaps |
| Telophase | Fourth and last stage in mitosis |
