View Interphase Mitosis Plant Cell Gallery. In plant cells, the first part of mitosis is the same as in animal cells. Interphase is the longest stage of the cell cycle and can be divided into 3 phases:
Dna is present as uncondensed chromatin (not visible under microscope).
Prophase, metaphase, telophase, anaphase and cytokinesis. Mitosis occurs when the nucleus of the cell divides into two identical nuclei with the same number and type of chromosomes, followed by cytokinesis when the cytoplasm, for both plant and animal cells, divides, thus creating two daughter cells that are genetically equal and approximately identical in size. Cell division is the driving process of reproduction at the cellular level. Interphase is the phase between two successive cell division (end of one cell division to the beginning of next cell division).
