Ode to Mitosis

Ode to Mitosis
Mitosis is a process
For One cell to become Two
There are Four distinct phases
Happening within You
First comes Prophase
The Chromatin strands condense
They now become visible
Through a microscope lens
Next comes Metaphase
The important Stage Two
Chromosomes attach to Spindle Fiber
Using Molecular Glue
Then comes Anaphase
It's really quite sad
Sister Chromatids separate
To opposite poles- too bad 🙁
Finally, it's Telophase
Nuclear membranes reform
Spindle fibers disperse
And Two new cells are born.
