Match the the phase with its description of what is occuring in the cell during mitosis.

Draggable itemCorresponding Item
Prophase
The nucleus condenses; the chromosomes become visible; the spindle forms, and the nuclear envelope breaks down.
Metaphase
The spindle attaches to the centromeres of the chromosomes and line them up in the center of the cell.
Anaphase
The spindle pulls the sister chromatids apart into individual chromosomes and pull them to opposite poles of the cell.
Telophase
The nuclear envelope reforms around the chromosomes; the spindle breaks apart and the cell membrane begins to pinch the cell in two.
