Cell Division Booklet

Color the cells featured throughout the book. Keep your colors consistent!

Label your cells with their appropriate parts

Summarize the functions that occur in that stage and/or phase of cell division

Stage 1: Interphase

The first stage of cell division

The cell grows The cell makes

organelles The cell replicates its

chromosomes (DNA)

Chromosomes (DNA)

Centrioles

Cytoplasm

Nucleus

Stage 2: Mitosis; Part 1: Prophase

Begins the second stage of cell division, Mitosis.

DNA strands coil up and condense.

Centrioles move to opposite sides of the nucleus

Nucleus breaks down

Chromosomes (DNA)

Centrioles andSpindle fibers

Cytoplasm

Nucleus breakingdown

Stage 2: Mitosis; Part 2: Metaphase

The centrioles move to opposite side of the cell and stretch out spindle fibers.

Spindle fibers organize the chromosomes.

Chromosomses (DNA) line up along the center of the animal cell.

Chromosomes (DNA)

Centriole andSpindle fibers

Cytoplasm

Centriole andSpindle fibers

Stage 2: Mitosis; Part 3: Anaphase

Chromosomes (DNA) split.

Spindle fibers shorten, causing the chromosomes to move to opposite sides of the cell.

Anaphase ends once the chromosomes stop moving at each end of the cell.

Stage 2: Mitosis; Part 4: Telophase

Final part of Mitosis.

A nuclear membrane reforms around each group of chromosomes.

Chromosomes disperse (unwind themselves) and are no longer visible.

Cell Membrane pulls apart and pinches into two nearly equal parts.

Each part contains its own nucleus, cytoplasm, and organelles.

The two cells are identical
