1.) Interphase (this is the stage during which a
cell carries out its normal functions, grows,
and makes copies of its genetic material for
preparation for next stage of the cycle
1.) G1 Phase (rapid growth and cell activity)
3.) G2 phase (cell prepares for division)
2). S phase (DNA synthesis and replication)
2.) Prophase (during prophase the
cell's chromatin convenes into
Chromosomes which contain DNA)
3.) Metaphase (during metaphase the
spindle fibres guide the chromosomes to
the equator)
4.) Anaphase (During
Anaphase each centromere
splits apart and the sister
chromatids separate from
each other)
5.) Telophase (Begins when the
chromosomes have reached
the opposite poles of the cell)

Interphase (this is the stage during which a cell

preparation for next stage of the cycle
Prophase I (each pair of
homologous
chromosomes lines up
side by side
Metaphase I ( the pairs of
homologous chromosomes
line up along the equator
of the cell)
Anaphase I (the homologous
chromosomes separate and move to
opposite poles pf the cell because
sister chromatid are still held
together.)
Telophase I (the homologous
chromosomes begin to uncoil and the
spindle fibres disappear)
Meiosis II (similar to the
phase of mitosis, the key
difference is that the cell
undergoes division during
meiosis II is haploid
instead of diploid
