Interphase:During interphase, a cell grows and maintains its routine functions as well as its contributions to the internal environments. DNA also replicates during interphase.
In prophase, centrioles move to opposite sides of the cytoplasm.

In prophase, microtubules form the spindle apparatus. In prophase, chromatin condenses into chromosomes.
Centromeres are attachment sites of chromatids.
In metaphase, spindle fibers attach to centromeres.
In metaphase, the chromosomes align midway between centrioles.
In anaphase, the centromeres of the chromatids separate. In anaphase, chromosomes move toward centrioles.
