| A | B |
| parent cell | starting cell in mitosis the cell from which the later generations will copies |
| daughter cells | 2 cells that are formed by mostis they are identical to their parent cell |
| interphase | Stage of mitosis, that a cell spends most time doing,centrioles appear and the cell makes enough stuff for two cells |
| prophase | Chromosomes pair up-connected by Centromere=chromatids; spindle fiber appears |
| metaphase | Chromatids~ line up in the center of the cell |
| anaphase | Each chromosomes moves to opposite sides of the cell; the cell now has two identical sets of chromosomes |
| telophase | The cell divides, and a nuclear membrane closes around the 2 cells. |
| mitosis | process by which a cell nucleus divides into 2 indentical nuclei |
| chromosome | Material found in a cell's nucleis that carries genetic material to pass to offspring. |
