Can someone help me understand interphase, prophase, metaphase, anaphase, and telophase

They are all stages of mitosis, which is cell division (for new cells for repair and growth)

interphase- the longest stage of the process. The DNA in the chromosomes copies itself, ready to split for mitosis. ALL 23 pairs copies itself so now there is 46 pairs of chromosomes (23 for each new cell).

prophase- The DNA in the chromosomes are more visible now, and the membrane around the nucleus disappears ready for the next stage

metaphase- Chromosomes and their copies line up in the middle of the cell, so that they could be pulled apart in the next stage

anaphase- Spindle fibres attach themselves to either end of the chromosome. They are then pulled apart to either ends of the cell. 23 on one side, 23 on another.

telophase- membranes form around the 23 pairs of chromosomes at their end of the cell. Two new daughter cells are produced. The cell membrane pinches in and divides the cells in two.
