| mitosis | cell division in which two identical daughter cells are made |
| haploid cell | cell that has only one of each type chromosome |
| diploid cell | cell that has pairs of chromosomes |
| chromosome | condensed DNA; DNA that has been packed |
| chromatid | "arm" or strand of a chromosome |
| centromere | connects the chromatids |
| prophase | nuclear envelope breaks down; DNA condenses (packs) |
| metaphase | chromosomes line up in the middle of the cell |
| anaphase | chromosomes are separated (pulled apart) |
| telophase | nuclear envelope reforms around the DNA |
| interphase | cell life cycle stage where cell spends most of its time; cell grows; DNA and organelles are copied at the end |
| cytokinesis | cell membrane is pinched through to form two cells; a cell plate forms if there is a cell wall |
| cell life cycle | interphase, mitosis, cytokinesis |
