Mitosis

 * Prophase: breakdown of the nuclear envelope is independent of microtubule assembly from the microtubule organizing center is separate from breakdown of the nuclear envelope which is complete at prometaphase
 * Spindle checkpoint separates metaphase from anaphase
 * Anaphase promoting complex
