Mitosis and Cell Cycle - Coggle Diagram

- - - - Interphase occurs for the longest period of time during the cell cycle.
      - DNA and chromosomes are duplicated in the nucleus.
    - - Prophase
        
        The long thin chromosomes become thicker and shorter. Each chromosome now appears as a doubled structure joined at a centromere.
        
        Centrioles begin to move to opposite ends of the cell (there are no centrioles in plant cells)
        
        Nuclear envelope breaks down and cytoplasmic fibers stretch from centriole to centriole.
      - Metaphase
        
        The double chromosomes line up along the middle cell.
        
        Cytoplasmic fibers now are attached to each doubled chromosome at the centromere.
      - Anaphase
        
        The doubled chromosomes separate.
        
        The new chromosomes are pulled to opposite ends of the cell by the cytoplasmic fibers.
      - Telophase
        
        Now the separated chromosomes approach the opposite ends of the cell and group together.
        
        A new nuclear envelope is formed around the chromosomes.
        
        The cytoplasm begins to divide and a new cell membrane forms. (In plant cells a new cell wall is laid down between the two new cells.)
        
        Two new diploid daughter cells are formed.
    - - Divides the cytoplasm into two cells and completes a full stage of the cell cycle.
