| Chromosomes (eukaryotic cells) | One of the structures in the nucleus that are made up of DNA and protein |
| Chromosomes (prokaryotic cells) | The main ring of DNA |
| Eukaryotic Cell cycle | The life cycle of the cell. Interphase, mitosis, and cytokinesis. |
| Interphase | Period of the cell cycle during which activities such as cell growth and protein synthesis occur without signs of cell division. |
| Mitosis | process of cell division that forms two new nuclei, each of which has the same number of chromosomes. |
