| A | B |
|---|
| Interphase | DNA and organelles is replicated |
| Prophase | Chromatin coils to form chromosomes -- nuclear membrane breaksdown |
| Metaphase | centriols move to opposite ends of the cell, but the chromosomes attach to the spindle in the center |
| Anaphase | Sister Chromatids split -- pulled to opposite poles of the cell |
| Telophase | Nuclear membrane reforms around new chromosomes |
| Mitosis | division of the nucleus |
| Cytokinesis | Division of the cytoplasm -- forms two identical daughter cells |
| Chromosome | full form takes 2 chromatids |
| Chromatid | half of a chromosome |
| Chromatin | uncoiled strands of protein and DNA |
| occurs same time as telophase | Cytokinesis |
| Chromosomes turn back into chromatin | Telophase |
| Ends when chromosomes stop moving | Anaphase |
| Lasts only a few minutes | Metaphase |
| Centrioles begin to form the mitiotic spindle | Prophase |
| The cell grows larger -- 90% of time spent here | Interphase |
