| Histone | Protein that organizes chromosomes and around which DNA wraps. |
| Chromatin | Loose combination of DNA and proteins that is present during interphase. |
| Chromatid | One half of a duplicated chromosome. |
| Centromere | Region of condensed chromosomes that looks pinched; Where spindle fibers attach during meiosis and mitosis. |
| Telomere | Repeating nucleotide at the ends of DNA molecules that do not form genes and help prevent the loss of genes. |
| Prophase | First phase of mitosis when chromatin condenses, the nuclear envelope breaks down, the nucleolus disappears, and the centrosomes and centrioles migrate to opposite sides of the cell. |
| Metaphase | The spindle fibers attach to a protein structure on the centromere of each chromosome and align the chromosomes along the cell equator, around the middle o the cell. |
