A | B |
Interphase | Part of the cell cycle that cells spend most of their time in |
Prophase | Mitosis stage where nuclear membrane disappears |
Metaphase | Mitosis stage where chromosomes line up along "equator" |
Anaphase | Mitosis stage where chromosomes are pulled apart to each "pole" |
Telophase | Mitosis stage where nuclear membrane reappears, and cell begins to split |
Cytokinesis | Final stage of mitosis where cells completely split |
Centrioles | Cell organelles which produce spindle fibers |
Centromere | The place on a chromosome where spindle fibers attach |
G1 | The first stage of interphase |
G2 | The final stage of interphase |
S | Stage of interphase where DNA duplicates |
Cell Cycle | Series of events that cells go through as they grow and divide |
Nuclear Membrane | Disappears during prophase and reappears during telophase |
Chromosome | DNA wrapped around protein |
Chromatin | A chromosome when it is unwound |
Spindle Fibers | Long, thin strands produced by the centriole |
