TermDefinition
Cell cycle Sequence of growth and division cell
Mitosis The usual method of cell division, characterized typically by the resolving of the chromatin of the nucleus into a threadlike form, which condenses into chromosomes, each of which separates longitudinally into two parts, one part of each chromosome being
Cytokinesis the division of the cell cytoplasm that usually follows mitotic or meiotic division of the nucleus.
Prophase the first stage of mitosis or meiosis in eukaryotic cell division, during which the nuclear envelope breaks down and strands of chromatin form into chromosomes.
Metaphase the stage in mitosis or meiosis in which the duplicated chromosomes line up along the equatorial plate of the spindle.
Anaphase the stage in mitosis or meiosis following metaphase in which the daughter chromosomes move away from each other to opposite ends of the cell.
Telophase the final stage of meiosis or mitosis, in which the separated chromosomes reach the opposite poles of the dividing cell and the nuclei of the daughter cells from around the two sets of chromosomes.
Daughter cell Either of the two identical cells that form when a cell divides.
Cancer uncontrolled cell division
Reproduction production of offspring by an organism by an organism
Chromatin the readily stainable substance of a cell nucleus, consisting of DNA, RNA, and various proteins, that forms chromosomes during cell division.
Chromatids one of two identical chromosomal strands into which a chromosome splits longitudinally preparatory to cell division
Centromere a specialized structure on the chromosome, appearing during cell division as the constricted central region where the two chromatids are held together and form an X shape.
- a specialized structure on the chromosome, appearing during cell division as the constricted central region where the two chromatids are held together and form an X shape. any of several threadlike bodies, consisting of chromatin, that carry the genes in a linear order: the human species has 23 pairs, designated 1 to 22 in order of decreasing size and X and Y for the female and male sex chromosomes respectively.
Spindle cell structure compared of microtubules that aid in the process of cell division
Aster - a structure formed in a cell during mitosis, composed of astral rays radiating about the centrosome.
