The Cell Cycle & Mitosis

Front

Loose DNA and protein structures found in the nucleus of a cell during Interphase.

Back

chromatin

Front

The center part of a chromosome, where spindle fibers attach.

Back

centromere

Front

The final stage of the cell cycle during which the cytoplasm and cell membrane completely split, forming two new identical daughter cells.

Back

cytokinesis

Front

Structures used to help the cell divide. They produce spindle fibers.

Back

centrioles

Front

Condensed DNA and protein structures found in the nucleus of a cell during mitosis.

Back

chromosome

Front

The phase of the cell cycle where the cell grows and DNA is replicated.

Back

interphase

Front

The process of cell division that results in two identical daughter cells.

Back

mitosis

Front

The stage of mitosis where chromosomes align in the center of the cell.

Back

metaphase

Front

The stage of mitosis where sister chromatids are pulled apart to opposite sides of the cell.

Back

anaphase

Front

The stage of mitosis where the nuclear envelope re-forms around each set of chromosomes.

Back

telophase
