Cell Cycle & Mitosis Models

The following shows the correct sequences for the stages of mitosis (you do not need to distinguish between early and late within a stage). The structures that you need to know are indicated by letter codes; check your answers against the key.

1. Interphase
Note that this is just prior to mitosis, as the centrosome has already been duplicated.

Interphase
2. Prophase (early)

Prophase-early
3. Prophase (late)

Prophase-late
4. Metaphase

Metaphase
5. Anaphase (early)

Anaphase-early
6. Anaphase (late)

Anaphase-late
7. Telophase

Telophase
8. Interphase

Interphase-daughter cells

Hint: to help remember the sequence of stages of mitosis (starting with interphase), try using this mnemonic:
