The document describes the stages of the cell cycle: interphase where the cell grows and chromosomes are copied, prophase where the nuclear envelope breaks down, metaphase where chromosomes line up in the middle, anaphase where chromosomes are pulled apart, telophase where new nuclei form, and cytokinesis where the cell divides into two daughter cells.

1. Cell Cycle Deran Start the Tour

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

3. Interphase Cell mature chromosomes copy themselves. Back

4. Prophase Nuclear membrane disappears spindle fibers form at the poles of the cell Back

5. Metaphase Chromosomes line up at the middle 2 spindle fibers attach to each chromosomes pair Back

6. Anaphase Chromosomes pairs split and the fiber strand pull the chromosomes to each pole. Back

7. Telophase 2 new nuclei form at two poles of the cell where chromosomes have gathered. Mitosis is complete cell membrane pinches in. Back

8. Cytokinesis Two new daughter cells are formed. Back
