The document describes the stages of the cell cycle: interphase where cells mature and chromosomes copy, prophase where the nuclear membrane disappears and spindle fibers form, metaphase where chromosomes line up in the middle, anaphase where chromosome pairs split and are pulled to poles, telophase where 2 nuclei form and mitosis is complete, and cytokinesis where the membrane pinches and 2 daughter cells are formed.

3. Interphase
• Cells Mature
• Chromosomes copy themselves
Back

4. Prophase
• Nucleur Membrane Disappears
• Spindle Fibers Form at the cell’s poles
Back

5. Metaphase
• Chromosomes line up in the middle of cells
• 2 spindle fibers attach to each of the 23
chromosome pairs
Back

6. Anaphase
• Chromosome pairs split
• Spindle Fibers pull chromosomes to each pole
Back

7. Telophase
• 2 nuclei form at poles
• Mitosis complete
• Membrane pinches in, dividing the cell
Back

8. Cytokinesis
• 2 new ‘daughter’ cells are formed
