When a cell duplicates itself, splitting into 2 daughter cells, identical to themselves and to the mother cell, it is used by body cells. The stages are prophase metaphase anaphase and telophase. The DNA in the nucleus become tightly coiled and the nuclear membrane dissipates, the chromasones line up at the center of the cell and then split to 2 separate but identical chromatids. They are then pulled by spindle fibers to the separate sides of the cell. Afterwards is cytokanisis which is not an actual phase of mitosis. (though it is a phase it is separate to mitosis) look up mitosis phases on wikapedia for more depth ;) good luck!!

The steps of mitosis are First the Pro-phase in which the nucleus starts to disintegrate and the chromatin inside starts to form chromatids which pair up to for chromosomes. second is the meta phase were the chromosomes form a line in the center for the centriols to attach spindle fibers to the centromere on the chromatids. (not chromosomes because there are 2 fibers that get attached to each chromatid. third is the Ana-phase were the spindle fibers pull the chromosomes part to make chromatids and pull them back to the centriols.

Finally there is the telo-phase were the recently spilt chromatids form new nucleus and then follows cytotkinisis were the cytoplasm were it all happened splits to form two new cells. boom done.

Easy was to remember the 4 stages is P-mat as in some thing you Pee on. my teacher told me that.
