Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Prophase is the phase in which chromosomes become visible, as they condense and become visible under a microscope. During prophase, the nuclear membrane also breaks down and the spindle fibers begin to form. Anaphase is the phase in which the sister chromatids separate and are pulled to opposite ends of the cell by the spindle fibers. Metaphase is the phase in which the chromosomes line up in the middle of the cell, attached to the spindle fibers. Telophase is the phase in which the nuclear membrane reforms around each set of chromosomes, and the cell prepares to divide into two daughter cells.
