2
Prophase

• Chromatin shortens, thickens, and becomes
  visible.
• Centrioles
• microtubule organelle, which aids in cell
  division
• Found only in animal cells
• Chromosomes have replicated
• Nuclear membrane breaks down

3
Metaphase

• Chromosomes line up along metaphase plate or
  equatorial plate
• Spindle fibers attach the chromosomes to the
  centrioles

4
Anaphase

• Replicated chromosomes separate during this phase
• Spindle fibers contract and draw chromosomes to
  the centrioles

5
Telophase

• Chromosomes unwind during this phase
• Cell furrow forms in animal cell
• Cell plate forms in plant cell
