8451127726 | Prophase | (longest stage) The chromosomes become visible and the centrioles separate and move to opposite poles of the cell | | 62 |
8451203964 | Metaphase | The chromosomes line up across the center of the cell and become connected to the spindle fiber at their centromere | | 63 |
8451208371 | Anaphase | ("Ana" meaning "back") The sister chromatids separate into individual chromosomes and are pulled apart | | 64 |
8451253155 | Telophase | The chromosomes gather at opposite ends of the cell and lose their distinct rod-like shapes. Two new nuclear membranes then form around each of the two regions of DNA and the spindle fibers disappear | | 65 |
8451273411 | Cytokinesis | The cell membrane will pinch and divide the cytoplasm in half. The result is two individual cells that are identical to the original cell | | 66 |

8451364707 | Telophase I | The cytoplasm divides and two new cells form and each new cell has one duplicated chromosome from each similar pair | | 72 |
8451368274 | Prophase II | The duplicated chromosomes and spindle fibers reappear in each new cell | | 73 |
