InterphaseInterphase

The cell has finished growing and replicating the DNA and is ready to divide.

ProphaseProphase

The Nuclear membrane breaks down and the chromosomes become distinct.

MetaphaseMetaphase

The chromosomes move to the center of the cell with the centromeres in a straight line.

AnaphaseAnaphase

The centromeres split and the chromatids move to opposite ends of the cell.

TelophaseTelophase

The chromatids reach the ends of the cell.
