Arrange the following events of mitosis and cytokinesis in the correct order

• Chromatids are pulled to opposite poles of the cell by spindle fibers

• Duplicated chromosomes line up at the cell equator. Spindle fibers attach to each chromatid.

• Daughter chromosomes are separated and the nuclear envelope forms

• The chromosomes condense and the nuclear envelop dissolves

• The cytoplasm divides the two daughter cells are separate
