1. Cell Division Booklet  Color the cells featured throughout the book.  Keep your colors consistent!  Label your cells with their appropriate parts  Summarize the functions that occur in that stage and/or phase of cell division

2. Stage 1: Interphase  The first stage of cell division  The cell grows  The cell makes organelles  The cell replicates its chromosomes (DNA) Chromosomes (DNA) Centrioles Cytoplasm Nucleus

3. Stage 2: Mitosis; Part 1: Prophase  Begins the second stage of cell division, Mitosis.  DNA strands coil up and condense.  Centrioles move to opposite sides of the nucleus  Nucleus breaks down Chromosomes (DNA) Centrioles and Spindle fibers Cytoplasm Nucleus breaking down

4. Stage 2: Mitosis; Part 2: Metaphase  The centrioles move to opposite side of the cell and stretch out spindle fibers.  Spindle fibers organize the chromosomes.  Chromosomses (DNA) line up along the center of the animal cell. Chromosomes (DNA) Centriole and Spindle fibers Cytoplasm Centriole and Spindle fibers

5. Stage 2: Mitosis; Part 3: Anaphase  Chromosomes (DNA) split.  Spindle fibers shorten, causing the chromosomes to move to opposite sides of the cell.  Anaphase ends once the chromosomes stop moving at each end of the cell. Chromosomes (DNA) Centriole and Spindle fibers Cytoplasm Centriole and Spindle fibers

6. Stage 2: Mitosis; Part 4: Telophase  Final part of Mitosis.  A nuclear membrane reforms around each group of chromosomes.  Chromosomes disperse (unwind themselves) and are no longer visible. Chromosomes (DNA) Centriole and Spindle fibers Cytoplasm Nucleus reforming Centriole and Spindle fibers

7. Stage 3: Cytokinesis Chromosomes (DNA) Centrioles Cytoplasm Nucleus  Final Stage of Cell Division.  Cell Membrane pulls apart and pinches into two nearly equal parts.  Each part contains its own nucleus, cytoplasm, and organelles.  The two cells are identical
