16
Q

the chromatin materials start to condense, forming discrete chromosomes. The nucleus and other organelles of the cell start to disintegrate. Centrioles start to move toward the opposite pole

A

Prophase

17
Q

Metaphase

A

chromosomes convene on the

metaphase plate

18
Q

What is Metaphase Plate?

A

an imaginary plane equidistant

between the two poles of the spindle fibers

19
Q

the sister chromatids are separated simultaneously at their centromeres. Spindle fibers will then pull the chromatids toward the opposite poles of the cell. Along with that action is the formation of spindle fibers between the migrating chromatids which causes the cell to elongate

A

Anaphase

20
Q

The chromosomes have reached the
opposite poles of the cell. The spindle fibers start to disappear. Nuclei and cytoplasmic contents of the daughter cells start to reform.

A

Telophase
