The cell cycle, from interphase to mitosis.

1. The Cell Cycle Cells undergoing changes due to the cell cycle

2. Introduction The cell cycle consists of two parts: Interphase The mitotic phase (mitosis) A cell in interphase – G1

3. Interphase This is a time when it just performs its function normally Made up of three periods: G1: the cell grows S: duplication of the cell’s DNA occurs G2: the cell prepares to divide The cell cycle in a pie chart

4. Mitosis This is the time when the cell needs to divide Made up of five periods: Prophase Metaphase Anaphase Telophase Cytokinesis The periods of mitosis

5. Prophase The chromatin condense into chromosomes The nuclear envelope disappears Nuclear envelope disappearing Chromatins condensing

6. Metaphase The chromosomes align at the equatorial plate Chromosomes aligning

7. Anaphase The sister chromatids separate The centromeres divide Separation of sister chromatids

8. Telophase The chromatin expands Chromatin expanding

9. Cytokinesis The cytoplasm divides Cytoplasm divides

10. Bye Now Good luck remembering all of this…. The End
