Cell Division

- Chromosomes condense and spindle fibers start to form.
- The nuclear envelope starts to break down and the chromosomes finish condensing. The spindle fibers start to attach to the chromosomes.
- All the spindle fibers have been attached to the chromosomes. The chromosomes are lined up along the center of the cell, at a point known as the metaphase plate.
- The cell elongates as the sister chromatids are pulled apart by the spindle fibers.
- Two new nuclei form and the spindle fibers break down.
- The cells pinch in the middle and split to form two new separate cells.
