Spindles appear from the centrioles and connect to the chromosomes. The two centrioles move to opposite sides of the cells.ĭuring the metaphase the chromosomes line up in the center of the cell. In the prophase the genetic material in the cell unwinds and pairs of chromosomes appear in the nucleus. Cells are in the interphase for 90% of their life cycle. The interphase is the 'resting' stage during which the cell is not undergoing cellular division. Students can color the black and white student sheet using colors of their choice. To make it easier to identify what the different cell parts are doing through the different stages of mitosis, it helps to color each part one color and keep it the same on each diagram.
