| A | B |
| interphase | resting stage between phases |
| prophase | first phase of cell division |
| late prophase | centrioles appear, chromosomes visible and duplicate |
| metaphase | Chromosomes line up on spindle fibers attached by centromere |
| anaphase | chromosme pairs separate, migrating to opposite poles of cell |
| telophase | chromosomes begin to disappear, nuclear membrane form around each new set of chromosomes |
| cytokinesis | cytoplasm starts to pinch inward formimg two new cells |
| mitosis | DNA and cell division |
| meiosis | formations of reproductive cells by cell division |
