The nuclear envelope is broken into smaller components. Kinetochore microtubules are assembled and are connected to kinetochores. The chromosomes become aligned in a plane at the cellular equator. Sister chromatids separate and the new chromosomes begin to move toward the poles. The chromosomes reach the poles, the nuclear envelope reforms, chromatin decondenses, and now the cell is ready for cytokinesis.

Determine which phase of the cell cycle the following events occur: Chromosomes condense and the nuclear envelope breaks down Chromosomes duplicate to form sister chromatids Sister chromatids line up at the spindle equator Spindle microtubules shorten to pull sister chromatids to opposite poles The proteins that hold the sister chromatids together are enzymatically cleaved The spindle apparatus disassembles
During Metaphase: a. The nuclear envelope breaks down releasing the chromosomes into the cell. b. Sister chromatids are separated into individual chromosomes and microtubules attached to kinetochores pull the pairs apart. c. Spindle is broken down. d. All chromosomes are attached to the spindle and line up along the metaphase plate.
