| Question | Answer |
| Diploid | State in which every chromosome of a cell has a Homologue |
| Haploid | State in which each of the 26 chromosomes lacks a homologous counterpart |
| Interphase | The period in a cell's life cycle between periods of mitosis |
| G1 phase | Gap phase |
| S phase | Synthesis phase |
| G2 phase | Growth phase |
| Cytokinesis | Cytoplasmic division |
| Mitosis stages (4) | Prophase, Metaphase, Anaphase, Telophase |
| Centromere | Joins together each pair of duplicate chromosomes |
| Chromatid | One member of the pair of chromosomes |
| Prophase | The chromosomes condense to the point they are visible under light microscope as x shaped structures. The nucleolus slowly disappears. Centrioles move to opposite poles of the cell. Microtbules give rise to the mitotic spindle. |
| Metaphase | Marked by complete dissolution of the nuclear membrane. The chromosomes line up at the metaphase plate with the help of kinetochore fibers. |
| Daughter chromosome | When sister chromatids are separated |
| Anaphase | Sister chromatids separate (as a result of the splitting of the centromere) and move toward opposite poles of the cell. |
| Telophase | Daughter chromosomes are positioned at opposite poles of the cell. A nuclear membrane forms around each set of daughter chromosomes. The chromosomes decondense and are no longer visible. Nucleoli reappear. |
| Cleavage furrow | Occurs during cytokinesis to divide the cell |
