Cell Division Booklet

Color the cells featured throughout the
book.
 Keep
your colors consistent!
Label your cells with their appropriate
parts
 Summarize the functions that occur in that
stage and/or phase of cell division

Stage 1: Interphase
Chromosomes (DNA)
Nucleus
Cytoplasm
Centrioles
The first stage of cell
division
 The cell grows
 The cell makes organelles
 The cell replicates its
chromosomes (DNA)

Stage 2: Mitosis; Part 1: Prophase
Chromosomes (DNA)
Nucleus breaking
down
Cytoplasm
Centrioles and
Spindle fibers
Begins the second stage
of cell division, Mitosis.
 DNA strands coil up and
condense.
 Centrioles move to
opposite sides of the
nucleus
 Nucleus breaks down

Stage 2: Mitosis; Part 2: Metaphase
Chromosomes (DNA)
Centriole and
Spindle fibers
Cytoplasm
Centriole and
Spindle fibers
The centrioles move to
opposite side of the
cell and stretch out
spindle fibers.
 Spindle fibers organize
the chromosomes.
 Chromosomses (DNA)
line up along the center
of the animal cell.

Stage 2: Mitosis; Part 3: Anaphase
Chromosomes (DNA) split.
 Spindle fibers shorten,
causing the chromosomes
to move to opposite sides
of the cell.
 Anaphase ends once the
chromosomes stop moving
Centriole and
Spindle fibers
at each end of the cell.
Chromosomes (DNA)
Centriole and
Spindle fibers
Cytoplasm

Stage 2: Mitosis; Part 4: Telophase
Chromosomes (DNA)
Nucleus reforming
Centriole and
Spindle fibers
Cytoplasm
Final part of Mitosis.
 A nuclear membrane
reforms around each
group of
chromosomes.
 Chromosomes
disperse (unwind
themselves) and are
Centriole and
Spindle fibers
no longer visible.

Stage 3: Cytokinesis
Chromosomes (DNA)
Final Stage of Cell
Division.
 Cell Membrane pulls
apart and pinches into
two nearly equal parts.
 Each part contains its own
nucleus, cytoplasm, and
organelles.
 The two cells are identical

Nucleus
Cytoplasm
Centrioles
