| Intense biochemical and bio-synthetic activity growth. Cell doubles in size, new organelles produced. |

| Synthesis of DNA takes place. Each chromosome replicated, complete copy of the genome, two identical sister chromatids held together at the centromere. |

| You can start to see the chromosomes. Begins with the condensation and seperation of chromosomes. Nuclear envelope disappears. The cytoplasm makes a football shaped structure called the mitotic spindle. |

| The two centrioles are at opposite poles of the cell, with the spindly fully elongated between them, spanning the length of the cell. Gathers in a plane across the center of the cell. Spindle is now fully formed. |

| During S phase, each chromosome is replicated. During anaphase, the two sister chromatids in each chromosome are pulled apart by the kinetochore and spindle fibers. The spindle microtubules that are not attached anymore grow longer, pushing the polls further away. |

| The sister chromatids have been pulled apart, a complete copy of the genome. At this point, the spindle apparatus of the cell disappears. A nuclear membrane reforms around each set of chromosomes. |
