Its life in interphase and that's where it's just So as you see, and this isn't precise, a cell spends most of It's the process by which the nucleus turns into two nuclei, but then that's obviously At some point it will be ready to divide and it will undergo mitosis. So I'm gonna make it like a cycle so it's gonna go back on itself. So let's say this is a new cell and it will go through interphase. Interphase is where a cell spends most of its life. At the end of anaphase, each pole contains a complete compilation of chromosomes.- Let's talk a little bit about the life cycle of a cell. In preparation for telophase, the two cell poles also move further apart during the course of anaphase.The daughter chromosomes migrate centromere first and the kinetochore fibers become shorter as the chromosomes near a pole..

Through the spindle apparatus, the daughter chromosomes move to the poles at opposite ends of the cell..They are referred to as daughter chromosomes.

Once the paired sister chromatids separate from one another, each is considered a 'full' chromosome.The paired centromeres in each distinct chromosome begin to move apart..During anaphase, the following key changes occur: At the end of anaphase, each pole contains a complete compilation of chromosomes. Spindle fibers not connected to chromatids lengthen and elongate the cell. In anaphase, the paired chromosomes ( sister chromatids) separate and begin moving to opposite ends (poles) of the cell. The chromosomes begin to migrate toward the cell center.The kinetochore fibers 'interact' with the spindle polar fibers connecting the kinetochores to the polar fibers.Kinetochores, which are specialized regions in the centromeres of chromosomes, attach to a type of microtubule called kinetochore fibers.Polar fibers, which are microtubules that make up the spindle fibers, reach from each cell pole to the cell's equator.The two pairs of centrioles (formed from the replication of one pair in Interphase) move away from one another toward opposite ends of the cell due to the lengthening of the microtubules that form between them.The mitotic spindle, composed of microtubules and proteins, forms in the cytoplasm.Chromatin fibers become coiled into chromosomes, with each chromosome having two chromatids joined at a centromere.

During prophase, a number of important changes occur: Prophase (versus interphase) is the first true step of the mitotic process. The nuclear envelope breaks down and spindles form at opposite poles of the cell. In prophase, the chromatin condenses into discrete chromosomes.
