Stage 1 Chromatin is material in a cell nucleus consisting of DNA and protein. This is the substance that chromosomes are made from. It can be stained with dyes in order to watch the process of mitosis using a microscope. This. Interphase
Stage 2 prophase Early in the prophase stage the chromatin fibres shorten into chromosomes that are visible under a light microscope. (Each prophase chromosome consists of a pair of identical double-stranded chromatids.) Later in prophase, the nucleolus disappears, the nuclear envelope breaks down, and the two centrosomes begin to form the miotic spindle (which is an assembly of microtubules.
Stage 2 mataphase • Metaphase is characterized by the "metaphase plate". This is a mid-point region within the cell that is formed/defined by the centromeres of the chromatid pairs aligning along the microtubules at the centre of the miotic spindle
Stage 2 anaphase The centromeres split seperating the two members of each chromatid pair - which then move to the opposite poles of the cell: When they are seperated the chromatids are called chromosomes. As the chromosomes are pulled by the the microtubules during anaphase, they appear to be "V"-shaped because the centromeres lead the way, dragging the trailing arms of the chromosomes towards the pole/s.
Stage 2 tellophase Telophase begins after the chromosomal movement stops. The identical sets of chromosomes - which are by this stage at opposite poles of the cell, uncoil and revert to the long, thin, thread-like chromatin form. A new nuclear envelope forms around each chromatin mass. Nucleoli appear. Eventually the miotic spindle breaks-up
Stage 3 cytokinesis • cytokinesis, is a separate process from divsion of the genetic material in mitosis.
