Mitosis/Cell Divide

This is the vocabulary involved with Cell Division and Mitosis

TermDefinition
cell cycle regular sequence of growth and division that eukaryotic cells undergo
I-PMAT-C Interphase-Prophase, Metaphase, Anaphase, Telophase - Cytokinesis
mitosis the process in which a cell nucleus divides into two identical nuclei
interphase the period before cell division: G1 - Growth; S - DNA is copied; G2 - Final growth and preparation before cell division
centrioles a two-part rod-shaped structure with parts lying at right angles to each other located in pairs near the nucleus; responsible for forming spindle fibers during cell division
prophase 1st stage of mitosis; chromosomes condense and become visible; nuclear membrane breaks down; spindle fibers form
metaphase 2nd stage of mitosis; spindle fibers attach to centromere of the sister chromatids and move the chromosomes to the middle of the cell
anaphase 3rd stage of mitosis; sister chromatids are pulled away at the centromere and pulled to opposite ends of the cell
telophase 4th stage of mitosis; pinching in of cells; nuclear membrane start to form around the chromosomes; spindle fibers disappear
cytokinesis complete division of the cytoplasm; results in two identical cells (plant cells have a cell plate that will form into the cell well)
nucleus center of the cell where DNA is stored
DNA our genetic material
chromosome a rod-shaped structure found in pairs in a cell's nucleus carrying genes
chromatid one half of the 'X' in a chromosome (exact copy of the DNA)
centromere holds the sister chromatids together at the center of the 'X'
chromatin thin strands of genetic material found in the nucleus of a eukaryotic cell

Use these flashcards to help memorize information. Look at the large card and try to recall what is on the other side. Then click the card to flip it. If you knew the answer, click the green Know box. Otherwise, click the red Don't know box.

When you've placed seven or more cards in the Don't know box, click "retry" to try those cards again.

If you've accidentally put the card in the wrong box, just click on the card to take it out of the box.

You can also use your keyboard to move the cards as follows:

If you are logged in to your account, this website will remember which cards you know and don't know so that they are in the same box the next time you log in.

When you need a break, try one of the other activities listed below the flashcards like Matching, Snowman, or Hungry Bug. Although it may feel like you're playing a game, your brain is still making more connections with the information to help you out.

To see how well you know the information, try the Quiz or Test activity.
