cell cycle series of events in which a cell grows, prepares for division, and divides to form two daughter cells mitosis process by which cells replicate their DNA, then separate it carefully and divide to form two genetically identical daughter cells. prophase Chromosomes condense so much they become visible, nuclear envelope breaks down, spindle forms metaphase Spindle fibers (microtubule proteins) develop from the centrioles. These protein fibers (spindle) attach to the centromere of each replicated chromosome, and wiggle and shake the chromosomes until they line up perfectly in the middle of the cell. Meta means "middle" or "change" anaphase Spindle fibers pull the replicated chromosomes apart and move to opposite ends of the cell. Ana means to separate.
