Mitotic stages

IPMAT
- I= Interphase
- P=Prophase
- M=Metaphase
- A=Anaphase
- T= telophase
Interphase
- Four major phases of cell division - but this isn’t one of them. This is the normal state in which cells exist when they’re just busily
- working away in their functioning state of the body - Interphase
Prophase

NOW SEE THE CHROMOSOMES FORMING - THREADY, SCRAMBLED EGG APPEARANCE
Metaphase
- Here we have the paired chromatin forming along the mid-line, connected to the
- spindle fibers - which you can consider (along with the centrioles) like a wench to
- begin the next stage where we see the chromosomes line up in order to begin the
- next phase when they will be moving apart from each other.
anaphase

Ana = Greek for “apart”
Telophase
- Tele
- - Greek for “end” or “finish
- Cleavage furrow - sometimes looks like a
