<P> Metaphase is the stage in cell division when the chromosomes line up in the middle of the cell by MTOCs (microtubule organizing center) by pushing and pulling on centromeres of both chromatids which causes the chromosome to move to the center . The chromosomes are still condensing and are currently at one step away from being the most coiled and condensed they will be . Spindle and spindle fibers have already connected to the kinetochores . At this point, the chromosomes are ready to split into opposite poles of the cell towards the spindle to which they are connected . </P> <P> Anaphase is a very short stage of the cell cycle and occurs after the chromosomes align at the mitotic plate . After the chromosomes line up in the middle of the cell, the spindle fibers will pull them apart . The chromosomes are split apart as the sister chromatids move to opposite sides of the cell . </P> <P> Telophase is the last stage of the cell cycle . Two cells form around the chromatin at the two poles of the cell . Two nuclear membranes begin to reform and the chromatin begin to unwind . </P> <P> Cells are broadly classified into two main categories: simple, non-nucleated prokaryotic cells, and complex, nucleated eukaryotic cells . Owing to their structural differences, eukaryotic and prokaryotic cells do not divide in the same way . Also, the pattern of cell division that transforms eukaryotic stem cells into gametes (sperm cells in males or egg cells in females), termed meiosis, is different from that of the division of somatic cells in the body . </P>
