Cell Division <3
| Term | Definition |
|---|---|
| Interphase : | Longest phase, cell grows up, DNA is replicated and copies of the chromatin is made so there are now chromosomes held together with centromeres |
| Prophase : | Cell prepares for division, centrioles appear along with spindle fibers, the nuclear membrane disappears. |
| Metaphase | Chromosomes line up in the middle and attach to the spindle fibers |
| Anaphase | The chromosomes pull apart and move to opposite ends of the cell |
| Telophase | Two new nuclei form and the cell starts to separate |
| Cytokinesis | Two new daughter cells are formed and the cycle starts over again. |
