The Cell cycle
_______________ is the process by which cells reproduce themselves, resulting in
daughter cells that contain the same amount of genetic material as the parent cell.
The cell cycle consists of several stages:
I _______________________________
P _______________________________
M ______________________________
A ______________________________
T ______________________________
C ______________________________
Interphase occurs ____________ mitosis ____________
Consists of the following processes:
 Chromosomes are ______________ (# doubles)
 Chromosomes appear as _____________ coils called __________________ at
the start, but each chromosome and its copy (_________chromosome) change to
sister ___________________ at the end of this phase

Consists of the following processes:

the cell.
