|
Prophase
|
The chromatin condenses into chromosomes. The centrioles separate, and a spindle begins to form. The nuclear envelope breaks down
|
|
|
Metaphase
|
The chromosomes line up across the center of the cell (equator). Each chromosome is connected to a spindle fiber at its centromere.
|
|
|
Anaphase
|
The sister chromatids separate into individual chromosomes and are moved apart
|
|
|
Telophase
|
The chromosomes gather at opposite ends of the cell and lose their distinct shapes. Two new nuclear envelopes will form.
|
|
|
Cytokinesis
|
The cytoplasm pinches in half. Each daughter cell has an identical set of duplicate chromosomes.
|
|
|
Interphase
|
The cell grows and replicates its DNA and centrioles.
|
|
|
centrioles
|
two tiny structures located in the cytoplasm near the nuclear envelope
|
|
|
spindle
|
a fanlike microtubule structure that helps separate the chromosomes
