|---|---|
| Cell Cycle | the sequence of growth and division for a cell |
| what are the three stages of the cell cycle? | interphase, mitosis, and cytokinesis |
| Chromatin | DNA |
| What are chromatids made of? | Chromatin |
| What are chromosomes made of? | chromatids |
| What connects chromatids? | centromere |
| interphase | First stage of the cell cycle and the period during division. During this phase the cell matures, copies it's DNA and prepares to divide. |
| prophase | the chromatin condenses and spindle fibers form. The nuclear membrane breaks apart. |
| Metaphase | The chromosomes line up along the center of the cell |
| anaphase | the spindle fiber splits the centromete and chromatids move to opposite sides of the cell |
| telophase | the chromosomes loosen on each side and the nuclear membrane begins to form |
| cytokinesis | the cell pinches and the cytoplasm divides. |
| what is the order of the steps of mitosis? | prophase, metaphase, anaphase, telophase |
