| chromosome | cell structures that carry the genetic material |
| cell cycle | sequence of growth and division in a cell |
| interphase | phase where cell grows, metabolizes and copies chromosomes prior to division |
| mitosis | cell division where 2 identical daughter cells are formed |
| prophase | first and longest phase of mitosis where chromosomes become visible |
| sister chromatid | identical halves of a duplicated chromosome, held by a centromere |
| centriole | structures composed of microtubules used in mitosis of animal cells |
| centromere | cell structure that joins two sister chromatids |
| spindle | structures that form between centrioles during prophase |
| metaphase | second phase of mitosis where chromosomes line up at the equator of the cell |
| anaphase | phase of mitosis when centromeres split and sister chromatids are pulled to opposite ends of the cell |
| telophase | final stage of mitosis when cytokinesis occurs |
| cytokinesis | division of the cells cytoplasm after mitosis or meiosis |
| cancer | uncontrolled cell division |
