| cell cycle stages | interphase and division |
| interphase | cell grows & copies organelles and DNA |
| interphase | longest part of the cell cycle |
| mitosis | the cell's nucleus divides into two new nuclei |
| 4 phases of mitosis | prophase, metaphase, anaphase, telophase |
| prophase | chromatin forms chromosomes |
| metaphase | chromosomes line-up in the middle |
| anaphase | sister chromatids separate |
| telophase | two new nuclei are formed |
| centromere | the piece that holds sister chromatids together |
| cytokinesis | two new cells are formed |
