The repeating stages a cell experiences, including cell division, compose the cell cycle.

Life cycle of the cell (cell cycle) can be divided in interphase and mitotic phase.

Interphase can be subdivided into:

• G1 phase characterized by the growth of the cell

• S where DNA replication occur

• G2 phase final preparation for mitosis.

Mitotic or M phase consists of:

• Prophase-condensation of chromosomes and mitotic spindle formation

• Metaphase-alignment of the chromosomes

• Anaphase- Sister chromatids are pulled apart by the mitotic spindle

• Telophase-each pole of the cell contain full set of chromosomes.

Two new cells are formed after cytokinesis.
