Cell Cycle Stages Worksheet Name Per.

Write the events in the correct steps of the cell cycle.

Stage Events Events to place in order
Interphase G1 Cell starts to grow  chromosomes line up in the middle of cell
Organelles are doubled
 spindle fibers attach to chromosomes
Protein synthesis
G0 Resting period  chromosomes condense into visible structures
Restriction point  chromatids are pulled apart by spindle fibers
S DNA replicated
G2 Cell continues to grow  spindle fibers appear

Mitosis Prophase Nuclear membrane disappears  cell starts to grow

Centrioles move toward opposite ends of cell  spindle fibers disappear
Spindle fibers appear
Chromosomes condense into visible structures  DNA replicated
Metaphase Spindle fibers attach to chromosomes  formation of 2 daughter cells
Chromosomes line up in middle of cell
 resting period
Anaphase Chromatids are pulled apart by spindle fibers
Telophase Nuclear membrane reappears  centrioles move toward opposite ends of cell
Chromosomes no longer clearly visible  nuclear membrane reappears
Formation of 2 nuclei
Spindle fibers disappear  organelles are doubled
Cytokinesis Cytoplasm divided  protein synthesis
Cell membrane pinches in around nuclei
Formation of 2 daughter cells  chromosomes no longer clearly visible
 nuclear membrane disappears
 cell membrane pinches in around nuclei
 cytoplasm divided
 formation of 2 nuclei
 restriction point
 cell continues to grow
 Name: ________________________

1st: Interphase  Chromosomes are doubled

2nd: Prophase  Mitotic phase begins (cell division)

 Nuclear membrane disappears
 Centrioles appear and begin to move to opposite
ends of the cell
 Spindle fibers form between the poles

3rd: Metaphase

 Chromosomes attach to the spindle fibers

 Chromosomes line up in the middle of cell.

4th: Anaphase
 Centromere breaks down
 Chromatids separate and move to opposite ends of
cell.

5th: Telophase
 Two new nuclei form.
 Mitosis ends.

6th: Cytokinesis
 Cell membrane moves inward to create two
daughter cells, each with identical nuclei
