| A | B |
|---|
| cell cycle | life cycle of a cell |
| DNA | genetic material that controls the cell activitiess |
| binary fission | the cell division process of bacteria |
| binary fission | splitting into two parts |
| human cells | have 46 chromosomes |
| cell cycle stages | interphase, mitosis, cytokinesis |
| interphase | cell grows & copies organelles and DNA |
| interphase | longest part of the cell cycle |
| mitosis | the cell's nucleus divides into two new nuclei |
| 4 phases of mitosis | prophase, metaphase, anaphase, telophase |
| prophase | chromatids form chromosomes |
| metaphase | chromosomes line-up in the middle |
| anaphase | chromosomes separate |
| telophase | two new nuclei are formed |
| chromatids | single rods of DNA |
| chromosome | double rods of DNA |
| centromere | the piece that holds chromosomes together |
| cytokinesis | two new cells are formed |
