Cell Division Vocab

Cell Division

• the equal division of the chromosomes into two genetically identical daughter nuclei. Mitosis consists of four stages.

• One of two identical halves of a replicated

  chromosome.

• the formation of two daughter cells from a single parent cell.

• the division of the cytoplasm of the cell to form two daughter cells.

Centriole

• a structure formed from condensed

  chromatin.

• a cylindrical organelle in animal cells that is involved in cell division.

• the period in the cell cycle during which the cell grows, matures, and duplicates genetic information.

• the division of the cytoplasm of the cell to form two daughter cells.
