Prophase - chromosomes are visible as paired chromatids, nuclear envelope disappears.

Prometaphase - duplicated genetic material in the nucleus of parent cell is carried into identical daughter cells.

Metaphase - chromosomes align at center of cell before being separated into daughter cells.

Anaphase - chromosomes are pulled apart towards opposite poles of the spindle

Telophase - chromosomes/chromatids move to opposite sides of cell, two nuclei are formed.
