Mitosis 3D — Cell Division Phases (2D)

2D top-down companion to the 3D mitosis simulator: step through prophase, prometaphase, metaphase, anaphase and telophase with animated chromosomes, spindle fibres, centrosomes and a cleavage furrow.

Molecular Biology2DEasy60 FPS📱 Mobile-adapted⇄ 3D version

This 2D top-down companion drives the same five-phase mitosis timeline as the 3D version — prophase, prometaphase, metaphase, anaphase and telophase — with 8 X-shaped chromosomes condensing, aligning on the metaphase plate, separating along spindle fibres, and splitting into two daughter cells behind a cleavage furrow. Use the phase-jump buttons, Speed and Cell size sliders to explore each stage, and read the live phase, progress, chromosome and DNA-content panel as it plays.
