| cell division | process when a cell divides into new cells |
| mitosis | division of the cell nucleus |
| cytokinesis | division of the cytoplasm |
| chromatids | identical chromosomes |
| centromere | the area where sister chromatids are attached |
| interphase | consists of G1, S, and G2 |
| cell cycle | the stages a cell goes through |
| prophase | the nuclear membrane dissolves |
| centriole | two structures that anchor the spindle |
| spindle | structure that helps align the chromosomes |
| metaphase | chromosomes line up along the middle of the cell |
| anaphase | chromosomes move away from the center of the cell |
| telophase | the nuclear membranes reform around the two clusters of chromosomes |
| synthesis | chromosomes get copied during this phase |
