List the phases of the cell cycle in order |
Interphase Prophase Metaphase Anaphase Telophase Cytokinesis |
|
|
Interphase
|
*Cell growth * Replication of DNA to prepare for cell division |
|
|
Prophase
|
* Chromatin condenses to form chromosomes.
* The nucleolus and the nuclear membrane break down and disappear.
* In animal cells, cylindrical bodies called centrioles appear which produce spindle fibers. |
|
|
Metaphase
|
* Spindle fibers attach to the centromere of the chromosomes and move them to the center of the dividing cell. |
|
|
Anaphase
|
*The chromatids of each chromosome separate at the centromere and slowly move toward the opposite poles of the dividing cell. |
|
|
Telophase
|
* The spindle fibers disassemble
* the chromosomes return to a less tightly coiled chromatin state.
* A nuclear envelope forms around each set of chromosomes, and a nucleolus forms in each of the newly forming cells |
|
|
Cytokinesis |
*The cell splits into 2.
*In animal cells, a contractile ring pinches in and eventually separates the dividing cell
*In plant cells, a cell plate separates the dividing cell |
