How a cell divides to make two genetically identical cells. Prophase, metaphase, anaphase, and telophase.

Stages of the cell cycle To divide, a cell must complete several important tasks: it must grow, copy its genetic material (DNA), and physically split into two daughter cells. Cells perform these tasks in an …

Since cell division occurs twice during meiosis, one starting cell can produce four gametes (eggs or sperm). In each round of division, cells go through four stages: prophase, metaphase, anaphase, …

Mitosis, a key part of the cell cycle, involves a series of stages (prophase, metaphase, anaphase, and telophase) that facilitate cell division and genetic information transmission.

Mitosis (the M phase) The process of mitosis, or cell division, is also known as the M phase. This is where the cell divides its previously-copied DNA and cytoplasm to make two new, identical daughter …

Trace the stages of the cell cycle and identify key events in interphase and mitosis. Understand how orderly cell division supports growth, repair, and the maintenance of healthy tissues in multicellular …

Learn about the stages of interphase and the mitotic (M) phase of the cell cycle.
