The document describes the stages of the cell cycle: Interphase where the cell grows and chromosomes copy; Prophase where the nuclear envelope breaks down; Metaphase where chromosomes line up in the middle; Anaphase where chromosomes are pulled to opposite poles; Telophase where new nuclei form; and Cytokinesis where the cell divides into two daughter cells.

1. Cell Cycle Tyler Henderson Start the Tour

2. Interphase Prophase Cytokinesis Telophase Anaphase Metaphase The Cell Cycle End Show

3. Interphase The cell matures. Chromosomes copy themselves. Back

4. Prophase Nuclear membrane disappears. Spindale Fibers at the poles of the cell. Back

5. Metaphase Chromosomes line up at the middle. Two Spindale Fibers attach at each chromosome pair. Back

6. Anaphase Chromosomes pair split and the fiber strands pull the chromosomes to each pole. Back

7. Telophase Two new nuclei form at two poles of the cell where chromosomes have formed. Mitosis is complete. Cell Membrane pinches in. Back

8. Cytokinesis Two daughter cells are formed. Back
