Prophase
Chromosomes condense. Centrosomes radiate microtubules and migrate to opposite poles
Prometaphase
the nuclear membrane breaks down and the microtubules of the mitotic spindle attach to the chromosomes
Prometaphase
microtubules grow and shrink to explore the region that was once the nucleus. microtubules encounter chromosomes, they attach to the chromosomes at their centromeres.
Metaphase
chromosomes align along a single plane in the middle of the dividing cell. The spindle microtubules lengthen and shorten
Metaphase
During this stage, the chromosomes are lined up in a single plane that is roughly equidistant from both of the spindle poles.
Anaphase
the centromere divides and kinetochore microtubules shorten, pulling the chromatids apart toward the centrosome.
Anaphase
ensures that one chromatid from each pair of sister chromatids goes to opposite poles of the cell
Telophase
A complete set of chromosomes is now at each pole of the cell. the microtubules break down completely and the nuclear envelope re-forms.
