Mitosis- Cell Cycle
life science
| Term | Definition |
|---|---|
| Interphase | DNA is stringy (chromatin) Nuclear membrane intact Cell grows and DNA copies |
| Prophase | Chromatin to Chromosomes Nuclear membrane breaks down Spindle fibers form |
| Metaphase | Chromatid pair in a line up the middle of the cell |
| Anaphase | Sister chromatids pull apart and move to opposite ends of the cells |
| Telophase | Two nuclei form Chromosomes Uncoil Cell starts pinching in the middle |
| Cytokinesis | Cytoplasm fully splits End result - 2 indentical daughter cells |
| Mitosis | Mitosis is the process cells use to divide and create identical daughter cells |
| Chromatin | Thin theard like DNA Found during Interphase |
| Chromatid | One half of a duplicated chromosomes |
| Sister Chromatids | The two identical halves of a dupilacted chromosomes |
| Centromere | The structure that holds sister chromatids together |
| Spindle Fibers | Fibers that pull chromatids apart during mitosis |
