Prophase
A
Chromosomes become larger
Nuclear envelope breaks down
4

Metaphase
A
Spindle fibres move chromosomes
Chromosomes line up at the middle of the cell
5
Q
Anaphase
A
Spindle fibres shorten
Chromosomes pulled to either side of the cell
6
Q
Telophase
A
Nuclear envelopes form around chromosomes at either side of the cell
7

A
The cell splits spart
Forming 2 genetically identical cells with individual nuclei
