63383-373662-Video Recap of Mitosis v. 2 by Amoeba Sisters

Mitosis is a process that cells undergo to multiply. It allows for the equal distribution of chromosomes between two daughter cells. There are four main stages of mitosis: prophase, metaphase, anaphase and telophase. In prophase the chromosomes condense and the mitotic spindle forms. In metaphase the chromosomes align in the center. In anaphase the chromosomes are pulled apart and in telophase the nuclear envelope reforms and cytokinesis occurs to separate the two daughter cells each with identical sets of chromosomes.
