  1. The Cell Cycle Cells grow, prepares for division, divides, and begin cycle again.

  2. IPMAT Stages of the cell cycle • Interphase • Prophase • Metaphase • Anaphase • Telophase

  3. Interphase • Most of the cell’s life time. • Chromosomes replicate. • Chromosomes are not visible under microscope.

  4. Prophase • 1st stage of mitosis. • Chromosomes become visible through a microscope. • Nuclear envelope breaks down. • Chromosomes attach to spindle fibers.

  5. Metaphase • Chromosomes line up in center of cell. • Chromosomes connected to spindle fiber at its centromere.

  6. Anaphase • Sister chromatids separate and are pulled to opposite sides of the cell.

  7. Telophase • New nuclear envelopes are formed around each set of chromosomes.

  8. Cytokinesis • Cytoplasm pinches off to form two new cells, each with its own nucleus.
