cytoplasm doubles | G2 |
centrioles start to form | prophase |
the DNA doubles | S |

chromosomes coil up | prophase |
chromosomes split apart and move to opposite sides of the cell | anaphase |
chromosomes meet in the middle | metaphase |
spindle fibers attach to the chromosomes | metaphase |
chromosomes uncoil and relax | telophase |
cells working together to do a specific function | tissue |
the longest phase of the cell cycle | interphase |
cells actually split apart | cytokinesis |
a group of tissues working together | organs |
animal cells | create two identical but separate cells |
plant cells | the cell split apart but creates a plate that keeps it attached to the mother cell |
