The cell cycle consists of interphase followed by mitosis, which includes prophase, metaphase, anaphase and telophase, ending with cytokinesis where the cell divides into two daughter cells. During interphase the cell grows and duplicates its DNA in preparation for cell division. The stages of mitosis then work to separate the duplicated DNA and split the cell into two identical daughter cells through cytokinesis.
