| Cell Division | The formation of two daughter cells from a single parent cell |
| Centriole | a cylindrical organelle in animal cells that is involed in cell division. |
| Meiosis | a process of cell division during which the number of chromosomes decreases to half the orginal number by two divisions of the nucleus which results in the creation of sex cells (gametes or spores) |
| Centriole | organelles that form spindle fibers which separate chromosomes during cell division |
| Centromere | The part of chromosome where the chromatids are attached |
| Centromere | During mitosis, spindle fibers attach to the chromosome at the centromere |
| Chromatid | One of two identical halves of a replicated chromosome |
| Chromatin | DNA strands in the nucleus during interphase |
| Chromosome | a strcutre fromed from condensed chromatin |
| Chromosome | consists of two identical chromatids attached at the centromere giving them a characteristic "X" shape |
| Cytokinesis | the division of the cytoplas of the cells to form two daughter cells |
| Daughter cells | Either of the two identical cells that form when a cell divides. |
| DNA | a molecule that carries genetic information |
| Interphase | the period in the cell cycle during which the cells grows, matures, and duplicated genetic information |
| Cell Cycle | the cycle of growth and asexual reproduction of a cel |
| Mitosis | the equal division of the chromosomes into two genetically identical daughter nuclei. The process consiists of 4 stages. |
| Homologous Chromosomes | Chromosomes that have the same sequence of genes and same structure |
