| S | Part of Interphase where cells chromosomes inside a cells nucleus replicate. |
| G2 | Part of Interphase where cellular function and growth continues, organelles are also replicated. |
| Prophase | The first phase of Mitosis. |
| Metaphase | The second phase of Mitosis |
| Anaphase | The third phase of Mitosis |

| Mitosis | The process by which the nucleus of a cell replicates and divides. |
| Prophase | The DNA in chromosomes twists and coils. |
| Prophase | The nuclear membrane breaks apart. |
| Metaphase | The replicated chromosomes move to the middle of the cell and line up end to end. |
| Metaphase | Spindle Fibers push and pull the chromosomes to the middle of the cell forcing them to line up end to end. |
| Anaphase | The sister chromatids separate and are pulled apart by the spindle fibers. |
| Telophase | A new membrane forms around each new set of chromosomes. |
| Cytokinesis | The cytoplasm divides to form two identical daughter cells. |
| Daughter Cells | Two identical cells made from Mitosis and Cytokinesis. |
