The Cell Cycle

Reproduction of Cells

Two Reasons for Mitosis

One reason is
because the cell
cycle repairs
damaged cells in a
organism.

The organism gets

bigger

Chromosomes
Chromosomes are
molecules that
carries the DNA of
cells

Interphase
During interphase
the part of the cell
cycle functions for
the organism

5 phases of Mitosis
Phase 1: Prophase:
The prophase the
DNA has replicated
and now is
unrolling in
preparation for
dividing.

Phase 2:
Metaphase
Chromosomes line
up the center of
cells

5- phases of Mitosis
Phase 3: Anaphase
The chromosomes
are beginning to
separate.

5- phases of Mitosis
Phase 4 Telophase
The cell now has two
sets of chromosomes
on both sides.

Phase 5 Cytokinesis
Two cells separate and
are now two
functioning cells.
