Cell Cycle

Google Doc

The cell cycle consists of a series of stages that a cell goes through to grow, replicate its DNA, and divide. The steps are divided into two main phases: Interphase (the preparation phase) and Mitosis (M phase) (the division phase).

1. Interphase

Interphase is the longest part of the cell cycle, where the cell prepares for division. During interphase, DNA replication occurs and the cell prepares for mitosis.

2. Prophase

3. Metaphase

4. Anaphase

5. Telophase

Task

1. Cut out each of the following phases of the cell cycle and arrange them into the correct order.
2. Label each phase
3. Label cell structures (chromatin, chromatid, centriole, spindle, centromere)
