Prophase
chromatin condenses into chromosomes, nuclear membrane dissolves, centrosomes and microtubules migrate towards poles of the cell
Metaphase
microtubule spindle fibres attach to centromere of each pair of sister chromatids
Middle: Microtubule spindle fibres contraction cause sister chromatids to line up along center
Anaphase
Continued microtubule contraction separates sister chromatids (now chromosomes) and moves them to opposite poles
Telophase
microtubule spindle fibres and centrosomes separate, chromosomes arrive at poles, 2 new nuclear membranes form around each set of chromosomes, chromosomes decondense into chromatin
Cytokinesis
Contractile ring pulls cell membrane inwards, causing cleavage furrow which is pinched to form two identical daughter cells
