| A | B |
| mitosis | cell division producing identical daughter cell; growth and repair |
| interphase | "between divisions"; cell grows and replicates DNA |
| prophase | chromosomes condense, nuclear membrane disintegrates |
| metaphase | chromosomes on the equator of the cell |
| anaphase | sister chromatids move to opposite poles |
| telophase | nucleus reorganizes |
| somatic cells | all the body cells |
| sister chromatids | genetically identical chromosomal units resulting from DNA replication |
| centromere | protein connecting sister chromatids |
| centriole | cell organelle that organizes spindle formation |
| diploid | two of each chromosome are present |
| cleavage furrow | groove that indicates cytokinesis is beginning |
| cytokinesis | cell division |
| karyokinesis | nuclear division; mitosis and meiosis |
| daughter cells | identical cells produced in mitosis |
| two | number of daughter cells produced in mitosis |
| chromosomes | units of DNA found in the nucleus |
| replication | process of making a copy of chromosomes |
