The Cell Cycle

Cells accomplish the majority of their growth.

• G1

• S

• G2

• M

Chromosomes are replicated and proteins synthesized.

• G1

• S

• G2

• M

NGSS.HS-LS1-4

The shortest of all the phases; chromosome replication is complete.

• G1

• S

• G2

• M

Tags

NGSS.HS-LS1-4

Encompasses G1, S, and the G2 Phase.

• Cytokinesis

• Mitosis

• Interphase

• Meiosis

Tags

NGSS.HS-LS1-4

The result is two daughter cells, each with 46 chromosomes.

• G1

• S

• G2

• M

NGSS.HS-LS1-4

Chromosomes condense

Centrioles and spindle fibers appear

• Prophase

• Metaphase

• Anaphase

• Telophase

• Cytokinesis

Tags

NGSS.HS-LS1-4

Chromosomes are lined up.

• Prophase

• Metaphase

• Anaphase

• Telophase

• Cytokinesis

Tags

NGSS.HS-LS1-4

Chromosomes are pulled away.

• Prophase

• Metaphase

• Anaphase

• Telophase

• Cytokinesis

Tags

NGSS.HS-LS1-4

Chromosomes gather at opposite ends of the cell; the nucleus begins to form back.

Note: The cells have not separated from each other.

• Prophase

• Metaphase

• Anaphase

• Telophase

• Cytokinesis
