The progression of cells from metaphase into anaphase is marked ... begin to decondense into their interphase conformations. Telophase is followed by cytokinesis, or the division of the cytoplasm ...

The growth and division of a cell is orchestrated into a highly controlled and ordered process called the cell cycle ... into 4 stages; prophase, metaphase, anaphase and telophase.

The process can take over 10 hours for mammalian cells in culture [2], budding yeast can take ~80 minutes to complete a cell cycle [3], whilst bacteria ... In meiosis, prophase, metaphase, anaphase ...

Mitosis and cytokinesis are undoubtedly the most spectacular parts of the cell cycle ... divided into five stages: prophase, prometaphase, metaphase, anaphase and telophase.

Most of the time, when a cell in our bodies divides, each new cell carries a complete set of chromosomes. The cells involved with human reproduction, however, carry only half after division occurs.

Interphase The cell spends most of its life in this phase. The DNA in chromosomes copies itself ready for mitosis. Prophase The DNA in chromosomes and their copies condenses to become more visible.
