This is a very brief review of the stages of the cell cycle

1. The Cell Cycle

2. INTERPHASE Longest stage of the cell cycle

3. INTERPHASE Cell performs its normal function

4. INTERPHASE DNA Replication occurs

5. MITOSIS begins PROPHASE Longest stage of MITOSIS

6. PROPHASE Cell prepares to divide NUCLEUS

7. METAPHASE Chromosomes line up in center of cell

8. ANAPHASE Chromosomes split Chromatids move toward centrioles

9. TELOPHASE One cell Two nuclei

10. CYTOKINESIS Division of the CYTOPLASM

11. INTERPHASE Both new cells enter INTERPHASE

12. The Cell Cycle repeats
