| A | B |
| interphase | The resting stage of the cell. First part of the cell cycle. |
| G1 stage | Interphase: Carrying out daly activities. |
| S stage | Interphase: The genetic material replaces itslelf. Trying to maintain enough material to fully supply 2 cells upon division. |
| G2 | Interphase: Cellular organells are produced for the new cell. |
| Mitosis | Nuclear division of a cell |
| Prophase | First part of mitosis. Nuclus begins to dissapear. |
| Cromatid pair | Two chromadin joined by centromore-spinole fibers. |
| Metaphase | Begins when the chromatid pairs line up along the center of the cell this makes it possible for the chromatids to position themselves so that they can migrate to opposite poles of the cell. |
| Anaphase | The phase where the chromatid pairs split so each can go to a different pole of the cell. The nucleus reappears and the spindle fibers dissapear during this stage. |
| Telophase | This stage begins and continues until the cell splits into two. |
| Cytocinesis | The actual splitting of the one cell into two separate cells. |
| Gametes | Special cells used in sexual reproduction. These cells contain 1/2 the normal amount of chromasomes. |
| Meiosis | This process occurs in the reproductive organs to allow for the 1/2 amount of chromasomes in a gamete to combine with another to make the new cell contain a normal number of chromasomes. |
