Cell Growth and Divv

Cell Growth and Division

QuestionAnswer
cell division the process by which a cell divides into two new daughter cells
mitosis the first stage; division of the cell nucleus
cytokinesis the second stage; division of the cytoplasm
chromatids one of two identical "sister" parts of a duplicated chromosome
centromeres the area where each pair of chromatids is attached; usually located near the middle of the chromatids
interphase period of the cell cycle between cell divisions
cell cycle the series of events that cells go through as they grow and divide
prophase the first and longest phase of mitosis; chromosomes become visible
centrioles two tiny structures located in the cytoplasm near the nuclear envelope
spindle a fanlike microtubule structure that helps separate the chromosomes
metaphase the second phase of mitosis; chromosomes line up across the center of the cell
anapahase the third phase of mitosis; centromeres that join the sister chromatids split, allowing sister chromatids to separate and become individual chromosomes
telophase the fourth and final phase of mitosis; chromosomes begin to disperse into a tangle of dense material, nuclear envelope re-forms
cyclin regulates the timing of the cell cycle in eukaryotic cells
cancer a disorder in which some of the body's own cells lose the ability to control growth
