Cell Cycle
| Term | Definition |
|---|---|
| Cell Cycle | sequence of growth and division |
| Mitosis | period of nuclear cell division in which two daughter cell are formed, each containing a complete set of chromosomes |
| Interphase | period of cell growth |
| Cytokineses | division of the cytoplasm |
| Prophase | the first and longest phase of mitosis: chromatin coils into visible chromosomes, the nuclear envelope disappears |
| Metaphase | second phase of mitosis:chromosomes that line up at the equator of the cell |
| Anaphase | the third phase of mitosis:chromosomes split |
| Telophase | the last phase of mitosis: two new nuclei are formed and the chromosomes uncoil |
| Daughter Cell | a term used to descired the new cells created durning mitosis and meiosis |
| Cancer | uncontrolled cell divison |

| Reprodction | production of offspring by an orgamism |
| Chromatin | long, tangled strands of DNA found in the nucles of a cell durning interphase |

| Chromatids | two exact copies of DNA that make up a chromosmoes |
| Centromere | cell structre that joins the two sister chromtids of a chromosome |
| Chromosome | cell strutctre that carries the genetic material that is copied and passed from generation to generation of a cell; consists of two sister cells chromatids connected by a centromere |
| Spindle | cell structres composed of microtubules that aid in the process of the cell division by moving the chrom |
| Cleavage Furrow | identations of the cell memebrane that forms durning cytokinesis in an animal cell; the cleavage furrow eventually pinches together, forming two new cells |
| Cell Plate | precursor to the cell wall that forms durning cytikinesis of a plant cells; eventually forms into a new cell wall, creating two new plant cells |
| Inhitbition | slows or stops a process from happening |
