name and explain the various stages of the cell cycle
Answers
The cell cycle can be separated into two major phases that alternate with each other: interphase, during which the cell grows, prepares for mitosis and duplicates its DNA, and the mitotic (M) phase, in which the cell divides into two genetically identical daughter cells
short and meaning ful answer
The stages of cell cycle are in order interphase, prophase, metaphase, anaphase and telophase. This process is known as mitosis.
It is the resting stage of a cell. The replication of DNA occurs in the S phase of this stage.
It is the stage where chromosomes become visible and nuclear membrane dissolves.
It is the stage where chromosomes line up in the centre of the cell.
It is the stage where the cell begins to divide and spindle shorten and pulls chromatids apart.
It is the stage where cytokinesis finishes and the nuclear membrane reforms.
Two new cells are fully formed by the end of this stage.
