Prophase
Metaphase
Anaphase
Telophase
Mitosis
A type of cell division in which each daughter cell is genetically identical to the parent cell.
Interphase
Includes Growth Phase 1, Synthesis Phase, and Growth Phase 2. The cell grows and DNA is replicated.
Prophase
Chromatin condenses into chromosomes
Metaphase
Chromosomes line up along an imaginary line.
Anaphase
Chromosomes break at centromeres and sister chromatids move to opposite ends of the cell.
Telophase
Nuclear membrane reforms, nucleoli reappear, chromosomes unwind into chromatin.
Cytokinesis
Contractile ring cleaves the cell into two.
G1 Phase
The cell grows and prepares for cell division.
G2 Phase
The cell grows and makes cell parts.
S Phase
The cell replicates/duplicates DNA.
Cancer
Disease caused by the uncontrolled division of body cells.
