... telophase. In prophase, the nucleoli disappears and the chromatin fibers become discrete chromosomes. The mitotic spindle also beings to form and the centrioles begin to move towards opposite ends of the cell. Also occurring later in prophase, the nuclear envelope fragments, and the microtubles attach to the kinetochores and overlap. In Metaphase, the chromosomes line up along the metaphase plate. The centromeres are all aligned and the sister chromatids straddle the metaphase plate. Anaphase beings when the sister chromatids are pulled away from each other. The chromosomess begin moving along the microtubles towards opposite ends of ...
