During interphase the cell carries out its normal functions, then the nucleus divides and chromosomes form an X shape as spindle fibers develop in prophase. The duplicated chromosomes line up in the center in metaphase and split to opposite ends in anaphase. A new nuclear membrane forms around each set of chromosomes in telophase as the cell divides through cytokinesis into two daughter cells.

2. InterphaseInterphase is the stage in the cell cycle where the cell will carry out most of its life functions.

6. MitosisNucleus divides into two equal, identical parts. Each part has a copy of the DNA

7. ProphaseChromosomes form X shapes, nucleolus disappears. Spindle fibres form.

9. MetaphaseThe duplicated chromosomes line up across the middle of the cell.

11. AnaphaseThe chromosomes split and go to opposite ends of the cell. Also, the spindle fibres start to break apart.

13. TelophaseCell starts to divide and begins to form a new nuclear membrane.

18. The cell is now ready to split into two daughter cells.Cytokinesis
