Learning Outcomes
- Identify the characteristics and sub-phases of interphase
- Identify the characteristics and stages of mitosis
- Identify the characteristics of cytokinesis
Remember, mitosis is the process of cell division, but it’s just a portion of the full cell cycle. Figure 1 shows approximately how long a cell spends in each stage of the cell cycle:
As you can see, cells spend most of their time in interphase.
Video Review: The Cell Cycle
This video reviews all the steps of mitosis; seeing it all together is a great review at this stage.
