Cell Cycle
1. Interphase – chromosomes are copied; the cell spends most of its time in this phase
2. Mitosis
a. Prophase - the chromosomes condense (become visible)
b. Metaphase - chromosomes line up along center of the cell
c. Anaphase- the centromeres split and chromosomes begin to separate
d. Telophase - A nuclear envelope forms around each set of chromosomes
3. Cytokinesis – division of the cytoplasm
