| Chromosomes | Double rod like structures that contain DNA |
| Cytokinesis | The final stage of the cell cycle, which completes the process of cell division |
| What takes place during the three stages of the cell cycle? | During interphase the cell grows and divides its DNA, during mitosis the cells nucleus breaks down, finally, during cytokinesis the cell divides completely |
| Draw and label the cell cycle | see notes |
