| Question |
Answer |
| anaphase | the separation of sister chromatids marks this phase |
| chromosome | DNA structures that can be seen during mitosis.Humans have 23 pairs. |
| interphase | the longest phase of the cell cycle-a time of growth,elimination of wastes,replication of DNA |
| telophase | chromatids reach the poles and the nucleus begins to divide |
| centromere | holds chromatids together |
| prophase | the nuclear membrane starts to disappear,chromosomes & centrioles appear |
| cancer | uncontrolled cell division |
| cell cycle | sequence of growth and division for the cell |
| centriole | found in animal cells, a cylindrical structure made of microtubules |
| gene | a portion of DNA which codes for a protein |
| metaphase | chromatids meet at the 'equator' of the nucleus in mitosis |
| mitosis | the division of the cell nucleus |
| sister chromatid | an exact copy of a chromosome |
| spindle | cage-like structure made of microtubules that helps to separate sister chromatids |
| cell plate | Only plants have these. They are used in cell division to make the new cell wall. |
