Goal of Cell Cycle THINK! – What is the goal of the Cell Cycle? Fill the answer into the box on your graphic organizer. To create 2 new cells each with the SAME number of DNA molecules (chromosomes) as the original cell and same size

1. Interphase 1. Interphase Cell Grows DNA Doubles

2. Mitosis A. Prophase (P=Prepare) Centrioles A. Prophase (P=Prepare) Chromatin coils into duplicated chromosomes Nuclear Membrane disappears Spindle fibers shoot out from centrioles

2. Mitosis B. Metaphase (M=Middle) Spindle Fibers B. Metaphase (M=Middle) Spindle fibers pull duplicated chromosomes to the middle of the cell Duplicated Chromosomes

2. Mitosis C. Anaphase (A=Apart) Duplicated chromosomes split at centromere Fibers pull chromosomes to opposite ends of cell

2. Mitosis D. Telophase (T=Tear) Chromosomes uncoil into chromatin Nuclear membrane reappears Spindle fibers disappear

3. Cytokinesis 3. Cytokinesis Cytoplasm & organelles divide Cell splits into two new cells
