| 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 |
