Answer:

the 3 stages are: Interphase, Mitosis, Cytokinesis

Step-by-step explanation:

Interphase is the phase of the cell cycle in which a typical cell spends most of its life. Interphase is the 'daily living' or metabolic phase of the cell, in which the cell obtains nutrients and metabolizes them, grows, replicates its DNA in preparation for mitosis, and conducts other "normal" cell functions.

Mitosis: a type of cell division that results in two daughter cells each having the same number and kind of chromosomes as the parent nucleus, typical of ordinary tissue growth.

Cytokinesis: The cytoplasmic division of a cell at the end of mitosis or meiosis, bringing about the separation into two daughter cells.

Answer:

Prophase

- Mitosis begins with prophase, during which chromosomes recruit condensin and begin to undergo a condensation process

Metaphase

- Next, chromosomes assume their most compacted state during metaphase, when the centromeres of all the cell's chromosomes line up at the equator of the spindle

Anaphase

- The progression of cells from metaphase into anaphase is marked by the abrupt separation of sister chromatids. Two separate classes of movements occur during anaphase. During the first part of anaphase, the kinetochore microtubules shorten, and the chromosomes move toward the spindle poles. During the second part of anaphase, the spindle poles separate as the non-kinetochore microtubules move past each other
