Metaphase
What is the second phase of the cell cycle?
S-phase
During which phase do chromosomes form in the nucleus?
Prophase
What happens during S-phase?
DNA is replicate/synthesized/copied

Anaphase
What is the 3rd phase of the cell cycle?
G2
During which phase, do the sister chromatin begin to get pulled apart to opposite sides of the cell?
Anaphase
What happens during the G2 phase?
the cell prepares for Mitosis or cell division
What happens during cytokinesis?
The cytoplasm splits
What is the 4th phase of Mitosis?
Telophase
What is the 4th phase of the cell cycle?
M-phase or Mitosis
During which phase does the cell begin to tear apart and form two separate cells?
Telophase
What happens during M-phase (Mitosis)?
The cell divides
How many cells are present at the end of the cell cycle?
two identical daughter cells

What is the cell cycle?
a series of events a cell goes through to grow and divide
