A | B |
centrioles | 2 rod-shaped bundles near the nuclear |
formed as centrioles move apart | spindle fibers |
one of 2 strands of a doubled chromosome | chromatid |
holds together 2 chromatids | centromere |
structure which brings about cytokinesis | cleavage furrow |
diffuse uncoiled strands of DNA | chromatin |
condensed rod-like form of DNA | chromosome |
DNA replicates in this phase | interphase |
chromosomes first become visible | prophase |
chromosomes line up on "equator" | metaphase |
chromatids pull apart | anaphase |
nuclear membrane REforms | telophase |
spindle fibers disappear | telophase |
chromosomes uncoil and become chromatin | telophase |
cell is carrying on normal activities | interphase |
nuclear membrane and nucleolus break down | prophase |
cytoplasm is divided | telophase |
produces sex cells (gametes) | meiosis |
end results is haploid cells | meiosis |
