• produce p53

• cause cancer

• work to heal wounds

During mitosis, this structure attaches and moves individual chromosomes or chromatids

• centriole

• centromere

• cytokinesis

• haploid

A chromosome is made of two identical sister

• chromatids

• chromatin

• spindles

• centromeres

These structures are found in the nucleus, look like "X"s, bundled

• centriole

• chromatin

• diploid

• chromosome

During this stage of mitosis, chromatids separate and move to opposite sides:

• interphase

• prophase

• anaphase

• hypophase
