60
Q

G2

A

After synthesis but before Prophase

61
Q

Prophase

A

Condensation of chromatin into chromosomes

Centriole pairs separate and move towards opposite poles of the cell

Centrioles form spindle fibers

62
Q

Metaphase

A

Chromosomes convene on the metaphase plate

63
Q

Anaphase

A

Begins when paired centromeres of each chromosome separate
