Understanding the Cell Cycle: From Interphase to Cytokinesis

Cell cycle By: Caleb Calhoun

interphase Cells are in this phase most of the time. Figure 1 Figure 2 fig 1 http://emt.bu.edu/em610/em610_ol_spring_2008/yanti/interphase.html Fig 2 http://micro.magnet.fsu.edu/cells/fluorescencemitosis/interphase1large.html

mitosis • Prophase • Prometaphase • Metaphase • Anaphase • Telophase

Mitosis: prophase Spindle fibers appear. Figure 1 Figure 2 Fig 2 http://www.prism.gatech.edu/~gh19/b1510/mitmei.htm Fig 1 http://itg.beckman.illinois.edu/technology_development/web_atlas/structures/mitosis/prophase/

prometaphase Prometaphase is when the DNA finds it’s match and connects together. Figure 1 Figure 2 Fig 1 http://www.sciencephoto.com/media/214742/enlarge Fig 2 http://www.edupic.net/cells.htm

metaphase Metaphase is when the DNA lines up in the middle of the cell and the spindle fibers hold them. Figure 1 Figure 2 Fig 2 http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Metaphase.png fig 1. http://faculty.washington.edu/casbury/

anaphase The spindle fibers pull the DNA two them. Figure 1 Figure 2 Fig 1 http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/9/91/Anaphase_IF.jpg/300px-Anaphase_IF.jpg Fig 2 http://www.yvonnebraden.com/Mitosis%20Flip%20Book%20Warm-up.htm

Telophase The cell membrane or cell wall appears and splits the cell. Figure 2 Figure 1 Fig 1 http://micro.magnet.fsu.edu/cells/fluorescencemitosis/telophase1large.html Fig 2 http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Telophase.jpg

Cytokinesis Cytokinesis is when the two cells a finally apart. Figure 1 Figure 2 Fig 1 http://images.tutorvista.com/content/feed/tvcs/cytokin.gif Fig 2 http://team6cell.pbworks.com/f/telophase.gif
