What is going on in this picture?

• The cytoplasm and cell membrane splits

• Chromosomes line up at the equator

• spindle fibres pull chromosomes apart

• Nuclear membrane breaks down and chromosomes become visible

What is happening in this picture?

• Chromosomes are lining up at the equator

• the cytoplasm and cell membrane are dividing

• the chromosomes are being pulled apart to opposite poles by spindle fibres

• The nucleus dissolves and chromosomes have become visible
