The Cell Cycle
| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| Growth, duplication of cell structures, and normal metabolism take place. | Stage 1 Interphase |
| Nuclear envelope and nucleolus disperse; chromatin fibers condense, forming chromosomes (paired chromatids); centrioles move to opposite sides of the cell. | Stage 2 Prophase |
| Chromosomes align midway between centrioles. | Stage 3 Metaphase |
| Microtubules pull sister chromatids toward centrioles. | Stage 4 Anaphase |
| Chromosomes elongate and become chromatin fibers; nuclear envelopes reassemble. | Stage 5 Telophase |
| Cell membrane constricts, dividing cell into new cells (daughter cells). | Stage 6 Cytokinese |
