Fibers Centriole Pairs Opposite Poles Cell Kinetochore Spindle

Text
Mitosis

1) Prophase: Chromatin-->Chromosomes; centriole pairs move towards opposite poles of the cell in the centrosome
2) Metaphase: the centriole pairs are at opposite ends of the cell, and the kinetochore fibers interact with the fibers of the spindle apparatus to align the chromosomes at the metaphase or equatorial plate which is between the two poles
3) Anaphase: the centromere is pulled apart, segregating the sister chromatids to each side of the cell by the kinetochore fibers
4) Telophase: the spindle disappears & a nuclear membrane forms around both set of chromosomes; the chromosomes uncoil into their interphase form
