|---|---|
| Mitosis (Ethan) | Cells divide into two |
| Unicellular (Ethan) | A single celled organism |
| Interphase(Ethan) | the resting phase between mitotic divisions of a cell, or between the first and second divisions of mitosis. |
| The Cell Cycle(Ethan L) | The series of events that take place in a cell that cause it to divide into 2 cells |
| Prophase(Ethan) | The first phase of mitosis that separates the duplicated genetic material |
| Metaphase(Ethan) | Metaphase is a stage of mitosis in the eukaryotic cell cycle in which chromosomes are at their second-most condensed and coiled stage |
| Telophase(Ethan) | Telophase is the final stage in both meiosis and mitosis in a eukaryotic cell |
| Centrioles(Ethan) | a cylindrical organelle composed mainly of a protein called tubulin. |
| Spindle Fibers(Ethan) | Spindle fibers are filaments that form the mitotic spindle in cell division |
| Centromere(Ethan) | The centromere is the specialized DNA sequence of a chromosome that links a pair of sister chromatids (a dyad). During mitosis |
| Equator(Ethan) | The boundary of a plane through which the division of a cell occurs |
| Cytokinesis(Ethan) | Cytokinesis is the physical process of cell division, which divides the cytoplasm of a parental cell into two daughter cells |
