Phases
Description
Organelles and cytoplasm separate. The cell membrane pinches in and forms two new identical daughter cells.
Chromatin coils and condenses into chromosomes. The nuclear membrane disappears.
The cell is undergoing normal cell growth and functions. DNA is replicated.
Chromosomes line up along the equator (middle) and prepare to separate.
Chromosomes finish separating and begin to relax back into chromatin. Two new nuclear membranes form. Cytokinesis
begins.
Spindle fibers pull sister chromatids apart and move them to opposite sides of the cell.
