|
Anaphase |
Twin copies of the chromosomes get separated and move to to the opposite sides of the cell |
|
|
Cell Division |
The method of one cell dividing into two cells. Mitosis and Meosis |
|
|
Cell plate |
The site of growth of a new cell wall between the two new daughter cells in the mitosis of plant cells |
|
|
Centromere |
Site of attachment for sister chromosomes. Spindle fibers attach here. |
|
|
Chromatids |
A chromatid is one of the two identical copies of DNA making up a duplicated chromosome, which are joined at the centromeres, for the process of cell division |
|
|
Chromatin |
Threadlike coils of chromosomes. |
|
|
Chromosomes |
Rod shaped cell structure that directs the activities of the cell and passes on traits to new cells. |
|
|
Condensing |
The shortening of the thread-like chromatin into the visible chromosomes. |
|
|
Cytokinesis |
The division of the cytoplasm in the cell. |
|
|
Daughter cells |
The two new cells formed by cell division. |
|
|
Furrow |
The site of pinching the cell membrane during cytokinesis. |
|
|
Interphase |
First phase of cell division. Normal cell activity. |
|
|
Metaphase |
Chromosomes move to the middle of the cell. |
|
|
Mitosis |
The process of duplication and division of the nucleus of a cell and the formation of the two daughter cells. |
|
|
Phase |
Cell division is broken down into different parts called cells. |
|
|
Prophase |
Mitosis begins. |
|
|
Sister chromosomes |
The duplicated chromosome pair that help separate the chromosomes during cell division. |
|
|
Telophase |
Chromosomes begin to uncoil to form chromatin, nuclear membrane reforms, nucleolus reappears, mitosis is complete. |
