Q

What main stages of the cell cycle?

A

Interphase- DNA spread out in long strings. Before mitosis cell makes copy of its DNA. DNA forms X-shaped chromosomes.

Prophase- The membrane around the nucleus breaks down.

Metaphase- The chromosomes line up at the centre of the cell.

Anaphase- Each chromosome split in half. The two halves are pulled to opposite ends of the cell.

Telophase- Membranes form around each new set of chromosomes.

Cytokinesis- is when the cytoplasm and cell membrane divide and form 2 separate cells called daugher cells
