| A | B |
|---|
| ·cytokinesis | division of the cytoplasm |
| metaphase | chromosome settles midway between the two poles |
| prophase | chromosomes are tightly coiled and become visible |
| G2 phase | the cell completes preparations for cell division |
| S phase | the DNA is copied |
| G1 phase | period of cell growth |
| Interphase | time between cell divisions; G1, S, G2 |
| mitotic (M) phase | part of cell cycle where body cells divide to make 2 identical diploid cells |
| centromere | where the sister chromatids connect |
| somatic cells | body cells (2N)--cells that go through mitosis |
| chromosomes | · DNA molecules are packaged into |
| genome | · A cell’s genetic information |
| anaphase | chromosomes are pulled apart |
| telophase | nuclei are forming, cytokinesis begins |
| duplicated chromosome | made of 2 identical sister chromatids |
| binary fission | asexual reproduction where a daughter cell divides in half to make 2 identical daughter cells |
