INTERPHASE
1. CHROMOSOMES UNCOIL AND
IS CALLED CHROMATIN
2. G1-PHASE: CELL GROWTH
OCCURS
3. S-PHASE: DNA RELIPCATION
OCCURS
4. G2-PHASES: CELL CHECK
POINT OCCURS AND
ADDITIONAL GROWTH

PROPHASE
1.CHROMOSOMES CONDENSE
(COIL UP AROUND HISTONES)
2.NUCLEAR ENVELOPE BREAKS
DOWN

METAPHASE
1.CHROMOSOMES ALIGN AT
THE EQUATOR (MIDDLE)
2.CENTRIOLES AT OPPOSITE
POLES
3.SPINDLE FIBERS ATTACH TO
CHROMOSOMES

Equator

ANAPHASE
1. SPINDLE FIBERS PULL SISTER
CHROMATIDS APART
2. PLASMA MEMBRANE
ELONGATES (looks like an
oval)
3. CYTOKINESIS BEGINS HERE

1.CELL BEGINS TO CLEAVE AND

FORM TWO IDENTICAL
DAUGHTER CELLS
2.NUCLEAR ENVELOPE BEGINS TO
FORM
Chromosomes

3.CHROMOSOMES START TO
UNCOIL (CHROMATIN)

Cleavage Furrow

CYTOKINESIS
1.CYTOKINESIS BEGINS IN
ANAPHASE

Daughter Cells

2.DIVISION OF THE
CYTOPLASM & ORGANELLES
3.RESULTS IN 2 IDENTICAL
DIPLOID DAUGHTER CELLS
DIPLOID CONTAINS 2 OF
EACH CHROMOSOME
