Modeling Mitosis

Early interphase: early interphase is just when the cell is doing what it is supposed to be doing and carrying out its normal function.
Late interphase: during late interphase the DNA cell makes exact copies of itself, they are able to duplicate like this with the help of enzymes unzipping process.
Prophase: prophase is when the spindle fibres form, during this the nucleus is completely making itself disappear. After that sister chromosomes are formed and the spindle fibres attach themselves to them.

Metaphase : this is when all of the sister chromosomes line themselves up in the middle of the cell to begin anaphase
.
Anaphase: now that the chromosomes are lined up and attached to the spindle fibres they all get pulled by the spindle fibres to opposite sides of the cell.

Telophase: during telophase all of the spindle fibres disappear and two new nuclei are formed around the different groups of sister chromosomes on the opposite sides of the cell.

Cytokinesis: finally the nucleuses separate to create two individual daughter cells.

And then this process just repeats itself!
