In mitosis you have prophase
and then metaphase, like always, 
and then anaphase and telophase
when 2 cells go their own ways.

First we have prophase.
Brad, the parent cell,
at the start of mitosis
will start to swell.
 
He duplicates proteins
and each organelle.
His chromosomes form
from chromatin as well

---

Grandfather Brad
has a certain prognosis
and enters the metaphase
stage of mitosis.
 
The chromosomes now
line up at the middle.
Their centromeres then
connect with the spindle

The poles of the cell
contain centrosomes.
They pull on the spindles
toward each of their homes.
​
The spindles then pull
on each chromosome
like a tug-of-war game
of theirs all their own.

The sister chromatids
say their good-byes
and go their own ways
to live their own lives.

It is now when each
chromatid slides
during anaphase
toward opposite sides.

---

​Now in telophase
the membrane reforms.
Out of just one cell
now two will be born.
 
Chromosomes unwind
to form chromatin.
Cytokinesis brings
us to the end.

---

Each is a primary
spermatocyte.
With 46 chromosomes
they are alike.
 
They reside in the
basement membrane
of the seminiferous
 tubules’ domain.
