When do cells copy their DNA?
The S stage of interphase.
100
What do the chromosomes do during metaphase?
Line up in the center of the cell
100
When during mitosis does the cell lengthen?
During anaphase

During what does the cytoplasm and its contents divide into two identical daughter cells?
During cytokinesis
200
What are the two main phases of the cell cycle?
mitosis and interphase

Why is the cell cycle important for multicellular organisms? (3 things)

growth, repair damaged cells, replace worn out cells

300
When do spindle fibers appear?
During prophase
300

What stage of interphase do a cells perform their normal cell functions?
G1
500

What disappears during prophase? 

What is the nucleus?

500
What happens to the spindle fibers during anaphase?
They shorten, pulling the chromatids towards opposite ends of the cell

What is the first thing that happens when a new cell is produced?
It grows or gets larger
