Mitosis
Definition | Term |
---|---|
First phase of mitosis, nucleusosis disappears, nuclear membrane begins to disappear, chromosomes are visible, centrioles move to the poles of the cell, and spindle fibers form. | Prophase |
Happens before mitosis, longest part of the cell’s life, DNA duplicates, cell carries out regular activities, and the cell grows. | Interphase |
Holds chromatids together to create a chromosome and breaks in anaphase. | Centromere |
2 chromatids held together by a centromere, are formed in prophase, and made of DNA. | Chromosome |
Made of DNA, 2 held together make a chromosome and are separated with another in anaphase. | Chromatid |
Happens after mitosis and is the splitting of the cytoplasm. | Cytokinesis |
Third phase of mitosis and spindle fibers pull chromosomes apart breaking the centromere. | Anaphase |
Second phase of mitosis, nuclear membrane is gone, chromosomes line up in the middle, and are attached to spindle fibers. | Metaphase |
Forth phase of mitosis, 2 nuclei form with the chromatids inside, and the 2 new cells are held together by a cell plate in a plant cell or a clevage furrow in an animal cell. | Telophase |
