2. Identifying stages of the cell cycle Use the following vocabulary works in the box above to label the stages of the cell cycle in the following diagram: 1. 2. Growth and preparation Replication 3. Continued growth and preparation 4. Mitosis 5. Cytokinesis 6. Interphase continued growth and preparation cytokinesis replication growth and preparation interphase mitosis
3. Briefly describe what is occurring in each stage of the cell cycle: 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. Growth and preparation: Cells grow and carry out life functions. Replication: The nucleus makes a copy of its DNA. Continued growth and preparation: There is continued growth and preparation for mitosis. Mitosis: The nucleus of the cell divides into 2 equal and identical parts. Cytokinesis: The 2 equal, identical parts of the cell separate. Interphase: Cells grow and carry out their life functions.
10. sister chromatids: formed when DNA replicates during interphase and joined together by a centromere. centromere: the structure that joins two sister chromatids together. p. 156
