| Define Mitosis | A type of cell division that results in two daughter cells each the same as the parent nucleus, |
| Define Meiosis | A type of cell division that results in two daughter cells each with half the chromosome number of the parent cell. |
| Define Interphase | The resting phase between successive mitotic divisions of a cell, or between the first and second divisions of meiosis. |
| Define Prophase | The first stage of cell division, before metaphase, during which the chromosomes become visible as paired chromatids and the nuclear |
| Define Metaphase | The second stage of cell division during which the chromosomes become attached to the spindle fibers. |
| Define Anaphase | The stage of meiotic or mitotic cell division in which the chromosomes move away from one another to opposite poles of the spindle. |
| Define Telephase | The final phase of cell division, between anaphase and interphase, in which the chromatids or chromosomes move to opposite ends of the... |

| Define Centromere | The point on a chromosome by which it is attached to a spindle fiber during cell division |
| Define Spindle Fiber | is the structure that separates the chromosomes into the daughter cells during cell division |
