Caitlin Savannah Lloyd September 19, 2012 Cell Cycle: The regular Sequence of growth and division the cells undergo. Interphase is the first stage of Mitosis. This is where the cells grows, the DNA replicates, and the cell prepares to divide. http://www.glenoaks.edu/facultystaff/facultywebsites/ hartung/pages/cellsandtissueslabimages.aspx http://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0003267002000302 Prophase is the second stage. It is where the nuclear membrane and nucleus disappear. Spindle fibers appear. The chromosomes duplicate. student.ccbcmd.edu bio4esobil2010.wordpress.com/tag/cell-reproduction/ Anaphase is the third stage in Mitosis. Sister chromatids separate and move to opposite ends. gargi5.blogspot.com / http://biology.clc.uc.edu/fankhauser/labs/genetics/root_tip_chromosomes.html Metaphase is the third stage. This is where the duplicated chromosomes move to the middle. http://joshattualatinhigh4a.edublogs.org/2012/01/03/cell-cycle-sequencing/ http://biology.clc.uc.edu/fankhauser/labs/genetics/root_tip_chromosomes.html Telophase is the fourth stage. Telophase is when the nucleus membrane and nucleolus reappear. The chromosomes loosen up and become chromatin. http://www.sparknotes.com/biology/cellreproduction/mitosis/section3.rhtml http://student.ccbcmd.edu/~gkaiser/biotutorials/dna/mitosis/images/telophase_ac.jpg Cytokinesis is the fifth stage. Cytokinesis is the division of cytoplasm. http://essayweb.net/biology/images/celldivision/cytokinesis.png heythereuniverse.tumblr.com/post/30334563909/two-hela-tissue-culture-cells-in-cytokinesis Cell Division The cell grows and prepares to divide.
