    First stage of cell division. Nuclear envelope disappears and paired chro tides become visible.
  • Prometaphase

    Prometaphase

  • Metaphase

    Metaphase
    Chromosomes become attached to spindle fibers.
  • Anaphase

    Anaphase
    Chromosomes start to move away from each other to opposite sides of the spindle.
  • Telophase

    Telophase
