|---|---|
| Homologous chromosomes | Chromosomes pairs of approximately the same length, centromere position, and staining pattern, with genes for the same characteristics |
| Prophase | is a stage of mitosis in which the chromatin condenses into double rod-shaped structures called chromosomes in which the chromatin becomes visible. |
| Metaphase | is a stage of mitosis in the eukaryotic cell cycle in which condensed & highly coiled chromosomes, carrying genetic information, align in the middle of the cell before being separated into two cells. |
| Anaphase | is the stage of mitosis or meiosis when chromosomes move to opposite poles of the cell. |
| Telophase | The final stage of mitosis or meiosis during which the chromosomes of cells are grouped in new nucleuses. |
| Cell Plate | A partition formed during cell division in plants and some algae that separates the two newly formed daughter cells. |
| Centromere | The most condensed and constricted region of a chromosome, to which the spindle fiber is attached during mitosis. |
| Cytokinesis | The division of the cytoplasm of a cell following the division of the nucleus. |
| Chromatids | Holds the replicated DNA of each individual chromosome, which are joined by a centromere, for the process of cell division. |
| Mitosis | The process by which a eukaryotic cell separates the chromosomes in its cell nucleus into two identical sets. |
| Chromosome | An organized structure of DNA and protein found in cells. |
| Interphase | the phase of the cell cycle in which the cell spends the majority of its time and performs the majority of its purposes including preparation for cell division. |
