The Cell Cycle, Cell Cycle

cytokinesis

Complete separation of the 2 new cells resulting from mitosis.

mitosis

A process that takes place in the nucleus of a dividing cell, involves a series of steps, and results in the formation of two new nuclei each having the same number of chromosomes as the parent nucleus.

interphase

prophase

metaphase

Chromosomes line up in the middle of the cell

anaphase

Sister chromatids separate

telophase

After the chromosome separates, the cell seals off, Final Phase of Mitosis.

chromatid

chromosome

A doubled rod of condensed chromatin; contains DNA that carries genetic information

centromere

Area where the chromatids of a chromosome are attached

cell cycle

An ordered sequence of events in the life of a eukaryotic cell; process of growth and division.

DNA fist condenses and forms chromosomes

Metaphase diagram

Chromosomes line up at the equator of the cell.
