- Q1Chromosomes *copied*, appear as *threadlike* coils at the start, then each chromosome and its copy *change to sister chromatids* at the end of phaseInterphase30s
- Q2*Mitosis begins*; centrioles appear and begin to move to opposite ends of cell; spindle fibers form between the poles.Prophase30s
- Q3Chromatids attach to *spindle fibers*; chromosomes line in *middle* of cellMetaphase30s
- Q4*Chromatids separate*, begin to move to opposite ends, pulled by the spindle fibersAnaphase30s
- Q5Cell *membrane moves inward* to create two daughter cells - each with own nucleus with identical chromosomes.Telophase30s
- Q6*Two new nuclei* form, chromosomes appear as chromatin, *mitosis ends*Cytokinesis30s
