1
Q
Interphase
A
DNA replicates
2
Q
Prophase
A
- chromosomes condense and become visible
-nuclear membrane breaks down
-centrioles migrate towards opposite poles and produce spindle
3
Q
metaphase
A
-spindle fibres attach to chromosomes
- arranges chromosomes along the equator of the cell in single file
4
Q
Anaphase
A
-spindle fibres contract pulling the chromosomes apart
- sister chromatids (now chromosomes) are pulled towards opposite poles
5
Q
Telophase
A
-nuclear membrane reforms around chromosomes
-cytokinesis-division of cytoplasm
6
Q
Interphase (ending)
A
two identical diploid daughter cells
