Cell Division and Mitosis

Front

Mitosis

Back

Cell division resulting in two identical daughter cells.

Front

Chromosomes

Back

DNA and protein structures containing genetic information.

Front

Chromatids

Back

Identical halves of a chromosome joined at the centromere.

Front

Centromere

Back

Region where two chromatids are joined.

Front

Centriole

Back

Organizes spindle fibers in animal cells.

Front

Spindle Fibers

Back

Structures that separate chromosomes during division.

Front

Interphase

Back

Cell growth and DNA replication phase.

Front

Prophase

Back

Chromatin condenses, nucleolus disappears, spindle fibers form.

Front

Metaphase

Back

Chromosomes align at the cell center.

Front

Anaphase

Back

Chromatids pulled apart to opposite cell sides.
