daughter chromosomes have reached the opposite poles, spindle fibres disperse, and two new nuclear membranes form
centromeres split, allowing chromatids to separate and daughter chromosomes move towards opposite poles
the cell replicates DNA
chromosomes align along equator individually in a metaphase plate and spindle fibres (microtubules) connect centrioles to special regions of chromosomal centromeres called kinetochores
chromosomes are condensed and visible, centrioles are on opposite points of the cell, and the nucleolus disappears
the nuclear membrane breaks down
7. During metaphase,
the nuclear membrane breaks down

8. Why are garlic root tip cells ideal for observing mitosis?
They are meristematic, meaning the area is growing slowly and therefore contains more cells in different stages
They are meristematic, meaning the area is growing rapidly and therefore contains many dividing cells
They are meristematic, meaning they are easy to stain
They are meristematic, meaning the cells are bigger and therefore are easier to view
