Cell Cycle
What is the longest phase in the cell cycle?
Interphase
List the stages of Mitosis in order
Prophase
Metaphase
Anaphase
Telophase

Cytokinesis
Long, thin fibers of DNA and proteins are called?
Chromatin
What phase of the cell cycle does DNA replicate itself?
S Phase
How many stages make up mitosis?
4
At what phase in cell division do the spindle fibers pull the chromosomes to opposite poles of the cell?
Anaphase
What is the end result of cytokinesis?
Two identical daughter cells
