prophase

Chromosomes become visible, nuclear membrane dissolves, spindle fibers forms

metaphase

Chromosomes line up in the middle of the cell

anaphase

chromosomes separate and move to opposite ends of the cell

telophase

Phase of mitosis in which a nuclear membrane reforms around each new set of chromosomes.

cytokinesis

interphase

A period of time in between mitosis during which a cell grows and copies its DNA,
Cell spend most of its time in this phase.

centromere

centriole

Cell organelle that aids in cell division in animal cells only

spindle fibers

chromatin

chromosome

chromatid

one of two identical "sister" parts of a duplicated chromosome

mitosis
