Here are the stages of the cell cycle.

 

Here the cell does what its meant to do, THE DNA replicates and is still in its stringy form

Interphase

 

 

prophase

Prophase is the very first step in mitosis, in this phase it is the process of separating the duplicated DNA that happened in the last part of the cycle in the nucleus. The cell also grows spindle fibers on opposite ends of it.

Metaphase

During metaphase all of the chromosomes begin to get into a line in the middle of the cell.

 

anaphase

In anaphase the duplicated chromosomes split and each half moves to opposite sides of the cell.

telophase

Telophase is the very last stage of mitosis and it is where a nuclear membrane grows around every set of chromosomes and separates the nuclear DNA from the cytoplasm.

 

 

Cytokinesis

the process repeats
