InterphaseWhen DNA and organelle replication take place
ProphaseTeh DNA is winding up, the nuclear membrane and nucleolus break down
MetaphaseThe chromosomes are lined up in the middle by the spindle fibers
AnaphaseThe chromatids are pulled to opposite sides of the cell by spindle fibers
TelophaseNew nuclear membranes are forming
CytokinesisTwo new cells are forming
