A
interphase prophase metaphase anaphase telophase
2
Q
What happens during interphase?
A
DNA replicates
Replicate organelles
3
Q
What happens during prophase?
A
chromosomes condense (get short + fatter)
nuclear membrane breaks down
centrioles move to the poles
4

A
chromosomes line up on the equator
spindle forms
spindle attaches to centrosomes
5
