Mitosis Process

Just confirmation:

 

Mitosis consists of four steps

 

Prophase - Where DNA's getting packed

 

Metaphase - Where DNA's beginning to cluster in the center

 

Anaphase - Where cells start the separation.

 

Telephase - Where cell is completely divided into two cells, each with one complete set of DNA.

 

And there is this Interphase, where it is between Telephase and Prophase, where normal cell function occurs and DNA is replicated.

 

Also, X-shaped (even Y-shaped) are made up of two identical parts called chromatids. Each chromatid is a complete set of DNA. In the center is that circly thing called Centromere that joins two. On that Centromere is those spikes call the Kinetochore.

 

I'm not sure about last part.

 

So, help me on this please!

youve got the stages right, i dont really know about the latter.

There are also spindle fibers, or something like that, that hold the chromosomes apart during the metaphase. I think..
