| A | B |
| Mitosis | Process of cell division in which a parent cell divides to create two daughter cells |
| Interphase | First phase of cell division |
| Spindle Fibers | Fibers that form a bridge between opposite ends of a cell during mitosis |
| Prophase | Marks the beginning of mitosis; centrioles and spindle fibers form |
| Cytokinesis | Last phase of cell division in which two daughter cells are formed |
| Centromere | Structure which joins sister chromatids |
| Chromatin | Threadlike coils of chromosomes |
| Metaphase | Phase in which chromatids attach to the spindle fibers |
| Anaphase | Phase in which chromatids separate and move towards the poles |
| Telophase | Phase during which two new nuclei are formed; marks the end of mitosis |
| Centrioles | Poles that form during cell division |
| Chromatids | Pairs of chromosomes |
