The Life Cycle of a Eucaryotic <strong>Cell</strong>:<br />
<strong>Mitosis</strong>: The process of eucaryotic cell division.<br />
Most cells spend less than 10% of time in mitosis.<br />
<strong>Mitosis</strong> is divided into four stages:<br />
1. Prophase: <strong>Cell</strong> prepares for division.<br />
2. Metaphase: Chromosomes line up in “middle” of cell.<br />
3. Anaphase: Sister chromatids split <strong>and</strong> migrate to<br />
opposite sides of the cell.<br />
4. Telophase: DNA is equally divided into two new<br />
daughter cells. Cytokinesis usually occurs.<br />
Cytokinesis: <strong>Division</strong> of cytoplasm.<br />
Mitotic Phase: <strong>Mitosis</strong> + Cytokinesis
