2. Interphase Nucleus is visible DNA in loose strands of chromatin
G1: Cell grows
S: DNA replication
G2: Preparation for Mitosis

4. Prophase Chromatin coils into chromosomes and becomes visible
Centrioles separate and move to poles
Nucleolus disappears
Nuclear envelop breaks down

6. Metaphase
Chromosomes line up along the middle
(equator) of the cell

8. Anaphase Centromeres separate
Sister chromatids separate into chromosomes
Chromosomes move to opposite poles

10. Telophase Chromosomes reach poles and begin to uncoil
Nuclear envelope re-forms
Spindle breaks apart
Nucleus becomes visible

12. Cytokinesis
Division of the cytoplasm
Plants develop a cell plate
