The chromatin in the nucleus forms into tightly packed chromosomes, and the nuclear envelope starts to break apart

The phase where the cell isn't actively dividing; the "resting stage

The division of the cytoplasm, resulting in two daughter cells.

The spindle pulls the separate sister chromatids to opposite sides of the cell.

Chromosomes line up in the center of the cell.

The chromatids unfold back into loose chromatin and two new nuclear envelopes reform.
