Quizplus · Accepted Answer

During prophase, the chromatin fibers condense into visible chromosomes, which is the defining characteristic of this phase of cell division. In interphase, the chromatin fibers are in their relaxed, uncondensed state. Metaphase is characterized by the alignment of the chromosomes at the equatorial plane of the cell. Anaphase involves the separation of the sister chromatids of each chromosome, while telophase involves the formation of two new nuclei around the resulting sets of chromosomes.
