| Question | Answer |
| interphase | the growth & development stage of the cell cycle that a cell spends most of its time in |
| replication | in interphase chromosomes duplicate and prepare for mitosis |
| mitosis | the process in the cell cycle when the nucleus divides to form 2 identical nuclei |
| chromosomes | structures in the nucleus that contain DNA |
| chromatids | half of the duplicated chromosome |
| centromere | holds the two chromatid together in the chromosome |
| centrioles | structures on opposite sides of the cells that spindle fibers attach to |
| prophase | phase when nucleus disappears and spindle fibers & centrioles show up |
| metaphase | phase when the chromosomes line up in the center of the cell & spindle fibers attach |
| anaphase | phase when spindle fibers shorten & pull the chromatids apart to opposite sides of the cell |
| telophase | phase when spindle fibers disappear,chromosomes uncoil, cytoplasm divides & nucleus forms in each new cell |
| cytokinesis | the last stage of the cell cycle when 2 identical daughter cells separate |
| cell plate | found only in plants, during cytokinesis, when a plate forms to separate the 2 daughter cells |
| Cell Cycle | 1. Interphase 2. Mitosis 3. Cytokinesis |
