cells in the body, except for sex cells
mitosis
cell division process that takes place in the somatic cells. daughter cells are identical to the parent
interphase
synthesis of cellular components needed for cell division, including synthesis of DNA
prophase
first stage of mitosis. chromosomes appear due to coiling of chromatin, the nucleolus breaks down and disappears, spindle fibers begin to form, centrioles move toward opposing poles, and the nuclear envelope breaks down
metaphase
chromosomes align at the metaphase plate
anaphase
sister chromatids separate and move towards opposite ends of the cell
