2. Using the model cells located above, the pool of chromosomes, spindle fibers, and centrosomes, build a visual model of each stage of the cell cycle that occurs in mitosis. Drag the components into the cells below for each stage until all components are in their correct positions. Finally, provide each stage with the correct name from the pool of cell cycle stages.
