What happens in Metaphase?
Chromosomes line up in the centre of the cell
What happens in anaphase?
Spindle Fibres pull chromosomes apart. Chromatids are pulled to opposite ends of the cell.
What happens in telophase?
Membranes form around each sets of chromosomes, becoming the nuclei of the two new cells, nucleus has now divided
What happens during cytokenesis?
