The letters in the diagram label the different parts of the cell cycle:
A: Interphase
B: Prophase
C: Metaphase
D: Anaphase
E: Telophase
F: G1 phase of interphase
G: S phase of interphase
H: G2 phase of interphase
I: Mitosis
J: Cytoplasm
It representation of the cell cycle of an animal cell.
The cell cycle is the process by which a cell grows, divides, and dies.
It is a fundamental process in all living organisms.
The diagram shows the five main stages of the cell cycle:
Interphase: This is the stage where the cell grows and prepares for division.
The cell's DNA is replicated, and the cell makes copies of all of its organelles.
Prophase: This is the first stage of mitosis, the process of cell division.
The cell's chromatin condenses into chromosomes, and the nuclear envelope breaks down.
Metaphase: The chromosomes line up in the middle of the cell.
Anaphase: The sister chromatids of each chromosome are pulled apart to opposite ends of the cell.
Telophase: The nuclear envelope reforms around the two sets of chromosomes, and the cell divides into two daughter cells.
