|
Interphase |
Cell's DNA is unravelled and replicated, to double its genetic content. The organelles are also replicated, and its ATP content increased. |
|
|
Prophase |
The chromosomes condense, getting shorter and fatter. The centrioles start moving to opposite ends of the cell, forming a network of protein fibres across it called the spindle. The nuclear envelope breaks down. |
|
|
Metaphase |
The chromosomes line up along the middle of the cell and become attached to the spindle by their centromere. |
|
|
Anaphase |
The centromeres divide, separating the pair of sister chromatids. The spindles contract, pulling the chromatids to opposite ends of the cell, centromere first. |
|
|
Telophase |
The chromatids reach the opposite poles on the spindle. They uncoil and become long and thin again. They're now called chromosomes. A nuclear envelope forms around each group of chromosomes, forming to identical nuclei. |
|
|
Cytokinesis |
The cytoplasm divides. |
