Mitosis

Duchesnea indica condensed chromosome spread. 2n = 12x = 84.

Fragaria x ananassa mitosis

Interphase

Three cells in interphase. Note the darker, more condensed nucleolus.

Prophase

Early prophase showing plectonemic coiling of chromatids in relational coils.

Prometaphase (metakinesis): Possible chromosome congression; chromatids move to the equatorial plate.

Metaphase

Chromosomes are at the highest level of coiling.

Anaphase

Early anaphase: Chromatids begin to move to opposite poles.

Telophase

Chromatids have reached opposite poles and nuclear envelops are reconstituting around daughter nuclei

Cytokinesis

Chromosomes are de-condensed into indistinguishable masses of chromatin
