What happens in Prophase? the nuclear envelope breaks down and strands of chromatin form into chromosomes.
What happens in Metaphase? the duplicated chromosomes line up along the equatorial plate of the spindle.
What happens in Anaphase? the daughter chromosomes move away from each other to opposite ends of the cell.
What happens in Telophase? the separated chromosomes reach the opposite poles of the dividing cell and the nuclei of the daughter cells form around the two sets of chromosomes.
How many cell divisions are in Mitosis? One
What kind of cell does mitosis start with? Parent cell
Cytokinesis The final phase of the cell cycle. The cell splits into two new daughter cells
Why do cells divide? Grow, repair, reproduce
What happens during Mitosis? One diploid cell divides into 2 diploid cells that are identical daughter cells
somatic cell All human body cells
Sister chromatids Condensed forms of chromatin joined by the centromere. Form a chormosome pair..
Centromere area connecting sister chromatids
Spindle fibers Microtubules that extend form the centrioles. Attach to the centromere.

DNA The blueprints of the cell that provide all cell instructions.
