  DNA replicates, cell growth
• what happens at prophase?

  nucleus membrane breaks down, spindle fibres appear
• what happens at metaphase?

  chromatids line up along centre of cell
• what happens at anaphase?

  chromatids pulled to either end of the cell
• what happens at telophase?

  nucleus membrane reforms around each set of chromatids
• what happens at cytokinesis?

  division of cytoplasm to form two identical daughter cells
