A concise overview of the cell cycle, focusing on the stages of mitosis and meiosis. it explains key concepts such as interphase, prophase, metaphase, anaphase, telophase, and cytokinesis, along with related terms like spindle fibers, chromatids, and centromeres. The information is presented in a clear and accessible manner, making it suitable for high school biology students. the use of mnemonics aids memorization and understanding of the cell cycle phases.

Spindle Fibers ✔✔fibers that attach to sister chromatids
Mitosis ✔✔division of the nucleus
Interphase ✔✔the longest phase: the cell grows and replicates its DNA and centrioles
I Played My Awesome Tuba Carefully stands for ✔✔Interphase, Prophase, Metaphase, Anaphase, Telophase, Cytokinesis
Prophase ✔✔the first stage of mitosis or meiosis in eukaryotic cell division, during which the nuclear envelope breaks down and strands of chromatin form into chromosomes
Metaphase ✔✔second phase of mitosis, during which the chromosomes line up across the center of the cell
Anaphase ✔✔the stage of meiosis or mitosis when chromosomes move toward opposite ends of the nuclear spindle
Telophase ✔✔the final stage of meiosis when the chromosomes move toward opposite ends of the nuclear spindle
Cytokinesis ✔✔The division of the cytoplasm to form two separate daughter cells immediately after mitosis.
Cleavage Furrow ✔✔the area of the cell membrane that pinches in and eventually separates the dividing cell
Centromeres ✔✔area where the chromatids of a chromosome are attached
Chromatids ✔✔two identical chromosomes that split and contain the same genetic material
DNA ✔✔deoxyribonucleic acid, the material that contains the information that determines inherited characteristics
