| Replication | The process by which a cell makes a copy of the DNA in its nucleus |

| Chromosomes | A double rod of condensed chromatin; contains DNA that carries genetic information |
| Cytokinesis | The final stage of the cell cycle in which the cells cytoplasm divides, distributing the organelles into each of the two new cells |
| What it takes place during the 3 stages in the cell cycle? | Interphase, mitosis, cytokinesis |
| Explain DNA replication, and how it accounts for the way it copies itself | During replication, this sound makes an exact copy of the DNA in its nucleus, DNA replication is important because the new cell will be the same |
