1. Cell Division By Shekijah Ward

2. Interphase (Prep-Stage) o Grow o DNA replicates(exact copy) o Prepares to divide o 90% of a Cells life is spent in Interphase http://micro.magnet.fsu.edu/cells/fluorescencemitosis/interph ase1large.html http://staff.jccc.net/pdecell/celldivision/mitosis1.htm l

3. Mitosis (Division of the Nucleus)

4. Mitosis Stage 1: Prophase o Nuclear membrane disappear o Spindle fibers appear (ropes) o See duplicated chromosomes http://faculty.ccbcmd.edu/courses/bio141/lecguid e/unit6/genetics/DNA/DNArep/pcprophaseB.html http://www.monteweston.com/Biology/Preeti.h tml

5. Mitosis Stage 2: Metaphase o Duplicated chromosomes move to the middle o Sister chromatids on either side http://faculty.washington.edu/casbury/ http://joshattualatinhigh4a.edublogs.org/2012/01/03/cell -cycle-sequencing /

6. Mitosis Stage 3: Anaphase o Sister chromatids separate and move to opposite ends http://www.labspaces.net/115885/Video__Suppres sion_of_protein_critical_to_cell_division_stops_can cer_cells_from_dividing http://www.yvonnebraden.com/Mitosis%20Fli p%20Book%20Warm-up.htm

7. Mitosis Stage 4: Telophase o Nuclear membrane reappears o Chromosomes loosen up and become chromatin http://www.edupic.net/ce lls.htm http://en.wikipedia.org/ wiki/File:Prometaphase.j pg

8. Cytokinesis (Division of the Cytoplasm) o The cell is transformed to two new cells o The cycle starts all over http://www.carolina.com/product/life+science/dv ds+and+videos/basics+of+genetics- +cellular+reproduction- +mitosis,+cytokinesis,+and+the+cell+cycle+dvd.do http://www.tutorvista.com/biology/cytok inesis-pictures
