  • Human cell early in cytokinesis
  • Human cell in early prophase
  • Human cells showing the stages of cell division starting with interphase second from the left on the top. Progressing anticlockwise the stages shown are: early prophase (centrosome not yet separated), late prophase (centrosome separated and DNA condensation), prometaphase (incomplete chromosome attachment), metaphase (chromosomes all attached and aligned), anaphase (chromosome separation), telophase (formation of midbody and cells begin to flatten), early cytokinesis (chromosomes decondensed and nuclear envelope reformed) and late cytokinesis (cells move apart).
  • Chromosomes at metaphase
  • Human HeLa cancer cell, tripolar mitosis
  • Human chromosomes in telophase. The chromosomes have separated and decondensed, and the new nuclear envelope forms.
  • Human chromosomes in metaphase. The chromosomes are all aligned and at this stage they are attached to the spindle (not visible in this image).
  • Human HeLa cancer cell in anaphase
  • Human cell in metaphase
