The chromosomes first become visable, initially as long thin threads, which sortern and thicken.
Animals cells contain two cylindrical organelles called centrioles, each of which moves to opposite poles of the cell. From each of the centrioles spindle fibers develop which span the cell from pole to pole.
Collectively spindle fibers are called spindle apparatus .
As plant cells lack centrioles, but do develop spindle apparatus, clearly showing that centrioles aren't essential to spindle fiber formation.
The nucleolus disappears and the nuclear envelop breaks down , leaving chromosomes free in the cytoplasm in the cell.
These are chromosomes are drawn towards the equator of the cell.
