The Cell Cycle

1. The Cell Cycle Mariah Harding

2. Interphase • The stage in mitosis or meiosis in which the duplicated chromosomes line up along the equatorial plate of the spindle. Figure 2 Figure 1 http://micro.magnet.fsu.edu/cells/fluorescencemitosis/interphase1large.html http://staff.jccc.net/pdecell/celldivision/mitosis1.html

3. Prophase • The first stage of mitosis or meiosis in eukaryotic cell division, during which the nuclear envelope breaks down and strands of chromatin form into chromosomes. Figure 2 Figure 1 http://www.funsci.com/fun3_en/mitosis/garlic.htm http://staff.jccc.net/pdecell/celldivision/meiosis.html

4. Meta phase The stage in mitosis or meiosis in which the duplicated chromosomes line up along the equatorial plate of the spindle.

5. Anaphase The stage in mitosis or meiosis following metaphase in which the daughter chromosomes move away from each other to opposite ends of the cell. Figure 2 Figure 1 bio4esobil2010.wordpress.com http://www.ias.unt.edu/~tpp001/mitosis_diagram_page.main.html

6. Telophase The final stage of meiosis or mitosis, in which the separated chromosomes reach the opposite poles of the dividing cell and the nuclei of the daughter cells form around the two sets of chromosomes.

7. Cytokinesis • The division of the cell cytoplasm that usually follows mitotic or meiotic division of the nucleus. Figure 1 Figure 2 http://www.sas.upenn.edu/~jbryson/MeiosisLessonPlan.htm http://www.allposters.co.uk/-sp/Mitosis-Cytokinesis-Posters_i838251_.htm
