| A | B |
| G1 | stage in which cell gains cytoplasm occurs during interphase |
| S | stage in which DNA is replicated during interphase |
| G2 | cell makes copies of organelles during this phase |
| Interphase | cell spends most of its time in this phase |
| prophase | DNA strands coil and shorten, nuclear membrane and nucleolus disappear |
| centrioles move to poles | prophase |
| metaphase | chromatids line up on equator of cell |
| nerve cells enter this phase | M |
| centromere | central structure of chromatid |
| anaphase | spindles shorten separating sister chromatids drawing them toward the poles |
| nuclear membrane and nucleolus reappear | telophase |
| cleavage furrow pinches in | occurs in animal cells during telophase |
| cell plate forms splitting daughter cells | occurs in plant cells during telophase |
| division of cytoplasm occurs | cytokinesis during telophase |
| 46 chromosomes | the number of chromosomes human daughter cells have after mitosis |
| during telophase newly formed chromosomes begin to unravel to form a mass called | chromatin |
| The correct order of mitosis stages | IPMAT |
| spindle fibers attach to centromere | metaphase |
