| cell cycle | the series of events that take place in a eukaryotic cell leading to its replication |
| chromosomes | in a eukaryotic cell, one of the structures in a nucleus that are made up of DNA and protein; in a prokaryotic cell, the main ring of DNA |
| cytokinesis | the division of the cytoplasm of a cell |
| daughter cells | cell resulting from the replication and division of a single parent cell |
| mitosis | process of cell division that forms two new nuclei, each of which has the same number of chromosomes |
| interphase | the stage of mitosis in which replication occurs |
| prophase | the stage of mitosis in which chromosomes are formed |
| metaphase | the stage of mitosis in the eukaryotic cell cycle in which chromosomes line up in the center of the cell |
| anaphase | the stage of mitosis when chromosomes separate in a eukaryotic cell |
| telophase | the stage of mitosis when the nuclear membranes in each daughter cell and chromosomes begin to unwind |
| parent cell | cell that makes daughter cells through replication |
