Q

Prophase

A

Chromosomes uncondense and thicken so they are visible

Nucleolus disappears and nuclear envelope begins to break down

Centrioles start to move to opposite pole

Q

Metaphase

A

Chromatids attached to the centomeres

Spindle fibres from centrioles attach to centromere and move chromosones to the middle

Envelope and nucleolus fully dissapeared

Metaphase for middle

Q

Anaphase

A

Spindle fibres contract

Centromeres of chromatids split and one chromatid from each chromosome is pulled to opposite poles

Each half of the cell receives one chromatid that is identical to the one in the other pole because each half of a chromosome are identical chromatids

Q

Telophase

A

New nuclear envelope and nucleolus start to form around each group of chromatids

Chromosomes begins to uncoil and become less distinct

Centrioles disappear
