2. METAPHASE • Chromosomes line up along the midline of the cell.
3. ANAPHASE • Spindle fibers shorten and pull chromosomes. • Chromosomes separate into chromatids. • Chromatids move towards the poles.
4. TELOPHASE • Chromosomes begin to uncoil. • Nuclear envelope reforms around chromosomes.
After Telophase, division is not complete: • CYTOKINESIS-division of cytoplasm and organelles. • Animal Cells-cell membrane pinches inwards between poles of cell, forming a cleavage furrow. Continues pinching until two separate cells. • Plant Cells-in between poles of cells forms a CELL PLATE-will become a new cell wall.
