The document lists homework assignments and provides information about the cell cycle. It asks students to complete four assignments for homework and answer a question about the three main stages of the cell cycle and what occurs in each. The document then describes the stages of mitosis - interphase, prophase, metaphase, anaphase, and telophase - and provides brief explanations of what happens in each stage.

1. Launch Get out the following four assignments for your homework packet -Review Sheet from Monday -Enzyme Letter from Tuesday -Enzyme Worksheet from Tuesday -Cell cycle worksheet from Thursday If time answer the following question: What are the three main stages of the cell cycle and what happens in each?

3. MITOSIS The process a cell uses to copy its DNA and create two identical daughter cells

4. Pre-Mitosis: INTERPHASE This is where the cell spends most of its time Cell grows, gain nutrients, copies DNA DNA is “just chillin” in the nucleus

5. Interphase = In-between

6. Step 1: PROPHASE DNA condenses into chromosomes Chromosomes pair up with their exact copy Nucleus breaks down

7. Prophase = Pairs

8. Step 2: METAPHASE Chromosomes line up in the middle of the cell Chromosomes are attached to fibers that stretch from the poles to the middle of the cell

9. Metaphase = Middle

10. Step 3: ANAPHASE The stage when chromosomes separate Each singular chromosome pulled to opposite sides of the cell by fibers in the cell

11. Anaphase = Apart

12. Step 4: TELOPHASE Cell membrane pinches off to form two cells Nuclear envelope reforms around DNA Chromosomes uncondense

13. Telophase = Two Cells
