| The parent cell is | the original cell that is about to go through division |
| The daughter cells are | the cells produced by division (either mitosis or meiosis) |
| DNA in its loose form, which coils up to form chromosomes, is called | chromatin |
| Centrioles are organelles that | produce spindle fibers |
| Spindle Fibers are thin threads that | attach to chromosomes and pull them apart during cell division |
| A chromosome is | a piece of DNA and is found in the nucleus; humans have 46 of them |
| Replication is when | DNA is copied |
| Replication happens | during interphase |
| The cell cycle is | a cell's normal cycle of growth and division |
| The cell cycle consists of | interphase, mitosis, and cytokinesis |
| Interphase is | a time of cell growth and activity |
| Interphase happens | before mitosis (and meiosis) |
| Prophase is | when chromatin condenses to show individual chromosomes |
| In mitosis prophase is | the first stage |
| Metaphase is | when chromosomes line up on the center of the cell |
| In mitosis metaphase is | the second stage |
| Anaphase is | when chromosomes are pulled apart |
| In mitosis anaphase is | the third stage |
| Telophase is | when two new daughter nuclei start to form |
| In mitosis telophase is | the last (fourth) stage |
| In cytokinesis | the cytoplasm divides |
| Cytokinesis happens | after telophase |
| Mitosis happens in | body cells |
| Mitosis is a form of | cell division |
