Prophase

Prometaphase

Anaphase

Telophase

Cytokenesis
Chromosomes condense and nucleolus disappears
Prophase
Nuclear membrane breaks down and kinetochores form on the chromosomes’ centromeres
Prometaphase
Chromosomes line up along the center of the cell
Metaphase
Chromosomes split and the chromatids are moved to the opposite poles of the cell
Anaphase
Nuclear envelop and nucleolus are reformed, chromosomes decondense
Telophase
The cell grows, makess proteins, and creates more organells
G1 phase of interphase
The cell copies all its DNA becoming tetraploid
S phase of interphase
Cell grows, makes proteins, and checks for genetic errors
G2 phase of interphase
Crossing over occurs in this stage
Prophase I
Pairs of homologous chromosomes move to the equator of the cell
Metaphase I
Homologous chromosomes move to opposite poles of the cell
Anaphase I
Chromosomes gather at the poles of the cells and the cytoplasm starts to divide
Telophase I
New spindle forms around the already condensed chromosomes
Prophase II
