| Metaphase | Phase 2 - Chromosomes line up in the middle of the celland centomeres are the same distance from each side of the cell. |
| Anaphase | Phase 3 - Chromatids separate and are pulled to opposite sides of the cell. Each side of the cell has a complete set of chromosomes. |
| Telophase | Phase 4 - A new nuclear membrane forms around each group of chromosomes, forming two identical nuclei. Cytokinesis begins during this phase. |
