BIOLOGY

The document describes the cell cycle and mitosis process. It labels different stages of interphase and mitosis, asks questions to test understanding, and includes diagrams of cells at different phases. Key points are: Interphase includes G1, S, and G2 phases where the cell grows and prepares for division. Mitosis includes prophase, metaphaphase, anaphase and telophase where the nuclear envelope dissolves and chromosomes separate and move to opposite sides. Cytokinesis then divides the cytoplasm.

Label the parts of the cell cycle diagram and briefly describe what is happening:

A
Interphase - cell is growing and preparing for division.

B
G1 - growth and normal cell function
C S - DNA replication

D
G2 - growth, preparation for division, duplicate organelles
E
Prophase - nuclear envelope dissolves, mitotic apparatus set up, DNA condenses.
F
Metaphase - chromosome line up in center

G
Anaphase - sister chromatids separate and are pulled to poles of cell.
H
Telophase - nuclei reform, DNA relaxes into chromatin, cleaveage furrow or cell plate forms
I
Mitosis - nuclear division
J
Cytokinesis - the rest of the cell divides
