- Label the large section of the cycle as "Interphase".
- Within Interphase, label the first subsection as "G1 - cell grows".
- Label the middle subsection of Interphase as "S-DNA replication".
- Label the last subsection of Interphase as "G2 - prepares for mitosis".
- Label the next large section after Interphase as "Mitosis" or "Cell division (M Phase)".
- Within Mitosis, label the first stage as "Prophase".
- Label the second stage as "Metaphase".
- Label the third stage as "Anaphase".
- Label the fourth stage as "Telophase".
- Label the final step, indicated by an arrow leading back to G1, as "Cytokinesis".
- Color the G1 phase section BLUE.
- Color the S phase section YELLOW.
- Color the G2 phase section RED.
- Color the entire Mitosis section ORANGE.
- Color the arrows connecting G1, S, and G2 phases GREEN.
- Color the arrow connecting the end of Telophase to Cytokinesis PURPLE.
- Color the arrow from Cytokinesis back to G1 YELLOW.
