| cell division | process by which a cell divides into two new daughter cells |
| mitosis | part of the eukaryotic cell division during which the cell nucleus divides |
| cytokinesis | division of the cytoplasm during cell division |
| chromatid | one or two identical sister parts of a duplicated chromosome |
| centromere | area where the chromatids of a chromosomes are attached |
| interphase | period of the cell cycle between cell division |
| cell cycle | series of events that cells go through as they grow and divide |
| prophase | first and longest phase of mitosis, during which the chromosomes become visible and the centrioles seperate andtakes up positions on the oppisite sides of the nucleus |
| centriole | one or two tiny structures located in the cytoplasm of animal cells near the nuclear envelope |
| spindle | fanlike micro tubes structures that help seperate the chromosomes during mitosis |
| metaphase | second phase of mitosis, during which the chromosomesline up across the center of the cell |
| anaphase | the third phase of mitosis, suring which the chromosomes pairs seperate pairs seperate and move toward oppisite poles |
| telophase | fourth and final phase of mitosis during which chromosomes begin to disperse into a tangle of dense material |
| cyclin | one of a family of closely related proteins that regulate the cell cycle in eukaryotic cells |
| cancer | disorder in which some of the body's own cells lose the ability to control growth |
