Interphase		New nuclear envelopes form around the two groups of daughter chromosomes
Prophase		The spindle begins to form
Metaphase		Two chromatids of each chromosome separate and move to opposite poles, as if pulled along the spindle fibers by the centromeres
Anaphase		The chromosomes are dispersed in the nucleus and appear as a network of long, thin threads or filaments, called the chromatin
Telophase		Chromosomes congregate at a plane midway between the two ends to which the spindle tapers
