|---|
| Cell cycle | the regular sequence of growth and division that cells undergo |
| Chromosome | a doubled rod of condensed chromatin: contains DNA |
| DNA | Deoxyribonucleic acid: genetic material that carries information about an organism, passed from parent to offspring |
| Nucleic Acid | contains cell instructions to carry out functions of life |
| Interphase | the stage of the cell cycle that takes place before cell division occurs |
| Mititis | stage where cell's nucleus divides into two new nuclei and one the DNA |
| Metaphase | Chromosomes line up across the center of the cell |
| Anaphase | Centromeres split, two chromatids separate, move to opposite ends of the cell and the cell is stretched out |
| Telophase | Chromosomes begin to stretch out, lose rod like appearance, new nuclear envelope forms |
| cytokinesis | cell membrane pinches in around the middle of the cell. The cell splits in two |
