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 |
