Mitosis

Question	Answer
Prophase	- The DNA is condensed into chromosomes. - The nuclear envelope breaks down. - The centrioles move to the poles of the cell. - Spindle fibres begin to form. Image: Prophase (binary/octet-stream)
Metaphase	- Chromosomes line up on the cell equator. - Spindle fibres attach to chromosomes at the centromeres. Image: Metaphase (binary/octet-stream)
Anaphase	- Spindle fibres contract (get smaller) and split the centromeres - Spindle fibres pull apart the sister chromatids and pull them to the poles of the cell. Image: Anaphase (binary/octet-stream)
Telophase	- Chromosomes de-condense - Nuclear envelopes reform -After this cytokinesis divides the cytoplasm, forming two seperate daughter cells. Image: Telophase (binary/octet-stream)
