| 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 |
| human cells | have 46 chromosomes |
| cell cycle stages | interphase and division |
| 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 | chromatin forms chromosomes |
| metaphase | chromosomes line-up in the middle |
| anaphase | sister chromatids separate |
| telophase | two new nuclei are formed |
| centromere | the piece that holds sister chromatids together |
| cytokinesis | two new cells are formed |
