Cell Cycle Part 2

The Cell Cycle

Cell Cycle- the ordered
sequence of events in
the life of a eukaryotic

cell.

It includes interphase,

mitosis, and
cytokinesis.

Mitosis - stage of the cell

cycle when the nucleus

divides. It includes

prophase, metaphase,

anaphase and telophase.

Chromosome

- contains

DNA

Prophase - 1st stage of

mitosis where the nuclear

membrane breaks down and

chromatids condense into

chromosomes.

Metaphase - 2nd stage of

mitosis where the

chromosomes line up in the

middle of the cell.

Anaphase - 3rd stage of

mitosis where the spindle

fibers pull the

chromosomes APART.

Telophase - 4th stage of
mitosis where the cell
begins to separate into

TWO cells.

Cytokinesis- “Cyto”=cell

“kinesis”=apart

The daughter cells

separate

Multiple Choice

Identify the stage of mitosis seen in the center circle of this image.

• prophase

• metaphase

• anaphase

• telophase

Interphase

stage of mitosis where the
cell begins to separate into

two cells.

Fill in the Blank

Stage of mitosis when the cell begins to separate into two cells

stage of mitosis where the
nuclear membrane breaks

down and chromatids

condense into chromosomes.

Prophase

Fill in the Blank

Stage of mitosis when the chromatin condenses into chromosomes and the nuclear membrane breaks apart.

stage of mitosis where the

chromosomes line up on the

equator of the cell.

Fill in the Blank

Stage of mitosis when the spindle fibers line the chromosomes along the equator of the cell.

stage of the cell cycle

when the nucleus divides.

It includes prophase,

metaphase, anaphase and

telophase.

Fill in the Blank

Stage of the cell cycle when the cell divides into two identical daughter cells

stage of mitosis where the

spindle fibers pull the
chromosomes APART.

Fill in the Blank

Stage of mitosis when the spindle fibers pull the chromosomes apart.

The daughter cells

separate

​Cytokinesis

Fill in the Blank

Part of the cell cycle when the two identical daughter cells separate into two separate cells.
