The document describes the stages of the cell cycle: Interphase where chromosomes copy themselves, Prophase where the nuclear membrane disappears and spindle fibers form, Metaphase where chromosomes line up in the middle and attach to spindle fibers, Anaphase where chromosome pairs split and are pulled to opposite poles, Telophase where two new nuclei form, and Cytokinesis where two new daughter cells are formed.

3. Interphase The interphase is where chromosomes copy themselves. Back

4. Prophase The Nuclear Membrane disappears. Also the spindle fibers form at the poles of the cell. Back

5. Metaphase Chromosomes line up in the middle. Also 2 spindle fibers form attach to each chromosome pair. Back

6. Anaphase Chromosome pairs split and the fiber strands pull the chromosomes to each pole. Back

7. Telophase 2 new nuclei form at two poles of the cell where chromosomes have gathered. Back

8. Cytokinesis Two new daughter cells form Back
