20. Cells that are not dividing are in interphase, which is subdivided into three periods of intense activity that precede mitosis or division of the nucleus. Mitosis is usually accompanied by division of the rest of the cell and takes place in meristems. 21. Mitosis is arbitrarily divided ...

Anaphase, in mitosis and meiosis, the stage of cell division in which separated chromatids (or homologous [like] chromosome pairs, as in the first meiotic division) move toward the opposite poles of the spindle apparatus. Anaphase is preceded by metaphas
Metaphase, in mitosis and meiosis, the stage of cell division characterized by the alignment of the chromosomes along the midline of the cell. Metaphase is preceded by prophase and is followed by anaphase. The mitotic spindle, which is widest at the midd
Telophase, in mitosis and meiosis, the final stage of cell division in which the spindle disappears and the nucleus forms around each set of daughter chromosomes. Preceded by anaphase, telophase is usually followed by cytokinesis, in which the cytoplasm
