| anaphase | Chromosome pairs separate and move toward opposite poles |
| telophase | Nuclear membrane reforms in this final phase of mitosis |
| mitosis | Cell division that results in two identical cells |
| cell division | Process by which a cell divides into two new daughter cells |
| cytokinesis | Division of cytoplasm during cell division |
| chromatid | One of two identical "sister" parts of a duplicated chromosome |
| centromere | Area where chromatids of a chromosome are attached |
| cell cycle | Series of events of events that cells go through as they divide |
| centriole | Tiny structures that separate and take up positions on opposite sides of the nucleus |
| spindle | Fanlike microtuble structure that helps separate chromosomes during mitosis |
