1. spindle fibres attach to the centromere of each chromosome.
2. the nucleolus begins to disappear.
3. a new nuclear membrane is forming around the chromosomes.
4. the cytoplasm of the cell is being divided.
5. dna is in the form of chromatin.
6. the chromosomes are located at the equator of the cell.
7. the nuclear membrane begins to disappear.
8. the division (cleavage) furrow appears.
9. the chromosomes are moving towards the poles of the cell.
10. chromosomes are replicated.
11. the spindle fibres are formed.
12. the nuclear membrane re - forms.

Explanation:

• Prophase (A): In prophase, the nuclear membrane begins to disappear, the nucleolus begins to disappear, and the spindle fibres are formed.
• Telophase (B): In telophase, a new nuclear membrane is forming around the chromosomes and the nuclear membrane re - forms.
• Anaphase (C): In anaphase, the chromosomes are moving towards the poles of the cell.
• Interphase (D): In interphase, DNA is in the form of 'chromatin' and chromosomes are replicated.
• Metaphase (E): In metaphase, spindle fibres attach to the centromere of each chromosome and the chromosomes are located at the equator of the cell.
• Cytokinesis (F): In cytokinesis, the cytoplasm of the cell is being divided, the division (cleavage) furrow appears.
