: the phase of mitosis in which each chromosome located near the middle of the cell attaches to spindle fiber
anaphase
: the phase of mitosis on which the chromatids are pulled apart and drawn by the spindle fibers to opposite ends of the cell
telophase
: the phase of mitosis in which the nuclear membrane reforms and cells start to separate
cytokinesis
: the phase of mitosis in which the cytoplasm starts to divide into two parts
spindle fibers
: threadlike structure that connects the centrioles to the chromosome and helps pull them apart
chromatids
: the two rod-like parts that are made up of identical DNA and together make up a chromosome
