metaphase the phase of mitosis where chromosomes line up along an imaginary line (the metaphase plate) in the middle of the cell.
anaphase the phase of mitosis in which spindle fibers begin to shorten, separating the sister chromatids, and pulling them to opposite ends of the cell.
telophase the phase of mitosis in which the genetic material has been separated, and the nuclear membrane begins to reform to create two separate, but identical, nuclei.
cytokinesis the division of the cytoplasm into two separate cells during cellular replication.
DNA replication the synthesis of a new DNA molecule that has the same nucleotide sequences as a pre-existing DNA molecule.
cancer a disease resulting from the uncontrolled growth and division of the cells of a multicellular organism.
binary fission a form of a sexual reproduction where a single-celled organism replicates its DNA and divides into identical cells.
