Interphase: cell grows, DNA replicates. Prophase: Chromatin condenses to form chromosomes, spindle fibers start, nucleus breaks down. Metaphase: the tug of war starts. Anaphase: the tug of war ends, chromatids separate, cell stretches out. Telophase: new nucleus forms, cell starts to pinch. Cytokinesis: cell membrane finishes off the pinch, and two new daughter cells are formed.
