DNA |
The molecule that carries the instructions for a cell to live. |
|
|
Chromosome |
A piece of DNA |
|
|
The Cell Cycle |
The time in the life of a cell from when it is created to when it finishes dividing. |
|
|
Interphase |
The first part of the Cell Cycle where the cell grows, does its job, and makes a copy of its DNA. |
|
|
Mitosis |
The middle four steps of the Cell Cycle where an exact copy of the nucleus is made. |
|
|
Prophase |
The first step in Mitosis where the cell prepares for making a new nucleus. |
|
|
Metaphase |
The second step in Mitosis where the chromosomes (pairs of DNA strands that look like X’s) meet in the middle of the cytoplasm. |
|
|
Anaphase |
The third step in Mitosis where the chromosome pairs are pulled apart to opposite ends of the cell. |
|
|
Telophase |
The fourth and last step in Mitosis where new nuclear membranes form around the two groups of chromosomes. |
|
|
Cytokinesis |
The final step in the Cell Cycle where the cytoplasm pinches in to form two new cells. |
|
|
Cell Plate |
The partition that is formed between plant cells after Telophase to divide the two new cells. |
