The document summarizes the stages of the cell cycle. It describes each stage from interphase through cytokinesis. During interphase, DNA replicates and the cell grows in size. In prophase, the nuclear envelope breaks down. In metaphase, chromosomes align in the center of the cell. In anaphase, chromatids are pulled apart to opposite poles. In telophase, chromosomes reach the poles and the nuclear envelope reforms. Cytokinesis then divides the cytoplasmic contents, completing the cell cycle.
