| Interphase | Growth and development of cell in preparation for cell division |
| Mitosis | Process in which the nucleus divides to form two identical nuclei |
| Centriole | Organelle used in cell division to separate chromosomes |
| Chromatid | an unduplicated chromosome that contains a single copy of the genetic material |
| Chromosome | structure that contains coiled up genetic material |
| Centromere | region of chromosome that holds chromatids together |
| Spindles | threadlike strands that are formed by centrioles to separate chromosomes |
| Prophase | stage of mitosis where nuclear membrane begins to break down and spindle fibers begin to form |
| Metaphase | stage of mitosis where chromosomes line up in the center of the cell |
| Anaphase | stage of mitosis where chromosomes begin to separate into chromatids |
| Telophase | Stage of mitosis where the nuclear membrane begins to reform and and spindle fibers disappear |
| Cytokinesis | stage in which the cytoplasm splits and two cells are formed |
| Cell Cycle | Series of events that eventually lead to division of a cell |
| Daughter Cells | The new cells formed as a result of cell division |
