A | B |
cell division | division of cell into 2 daughter cells |
mitosis | replication and division of nucleus |
cytokinesis | division of cytoplasm |
chromosomes | contain DNA |
cell cycle | "life cycle" of cell |
interphase | cell grows, chromosomes replicate |
prophase | double-stranded chromosomes are visible, centrioles move to opposite sides of cell, nuclear membrane disappears |
metaphase | double-stranded chromosomes line up in center of cell |
anaphase | double-stranded chromosomes separate,chromatids move to ends of cell |
telophase | nuclear membrane reforms, cytokinesis occurs |
sister chromatids | two strands of a double-stranded chromosome held together by centromere |
