Title: The Cell Cycle
1The Cell Cycle
2As chromatin condenses
it becomes
visible under a light microscope.
3This is another look at how DNA is packaged.
4The three Cs that might confuse you.
Centrosome
Centrioles
Centromeres
5Interphase

Chromatin forms supercoils
(G2 stage)
7Mitotic Phase
8MITOSIS
9The Cell in Early Prophase
Chromatin condenses
10The Cell in Late Prophase
Nuclear envelope breaks down
Centrosomes move apart
Spindle fibers form
11METAPHASE
Spindle fibers attach to centromeres
Chromosomes align in middle of the cell
12METAPHASE
Under the microscope, chromosomes may appear
flat. In the cell however, chromosomes have a
three-dimensional arrangement.
13ANAPHASE
Free spindle fibers lengthen cell elongates
Spindle microtubules disintegrate behind
chromatids
14TELOPHASE
Daughter chromosomes reach centrosomes
15CYTOKINESIS
TELOPHASE
Mitotic spindle disappears
Cell divides into two identical daughter cells
Nuclear membrane reforms
Nucleoli reappear
