Mitosis And Cell Division

Front 1

Cell Division =

Back 1

Process by which a cell divides into two new daughter cells

Front 2

Mitosis =

Back 2

Part cell division during which the cell nucleus divides

Front 3

Cytokinesis =

Back 3

Division of the cytoplasm during cell division

Front 4

Chromatid =

Back 4

One of two identical “sister” parts of a duplicated chromosome

Front 5

Centromere =

Back 5

Area where the chromatids of a chromosome are attached

Front 6

Interphase =

Back 6

Period of the cell cycle between cell divisions

Front 7

Prophase =

Back 7

Longest phase of mitosis, during which the chromosomes become visible and the centrioles separate and take up positions on the opposite sides of the nucleus

Front 8

Centriole =

Back 8

One of two tiny structures Located near the nuclear envelope – move to opposite sides of cell during cell division

Front 9

Spindle or Spindle Fibers =

Back 9

Fanlike fibers that helps separate the chromosomes during mitosis

Front 10

Metaphase =

Back 10

Phase where chromosomes line up across the center of the cell

Front 11

Anaphase =

Back 11

Phase where chromosome pairs separate and move toward opposite poles

Front 12

Telophase =

Back 12

Phase where chromosomes begin to form new nuclei

Front 13

Cell cycle =

Back 13

Series of events that cells go through as they grow and divide

Front 14

Cyclin =

Back 14

One of a family of closely related proteins that regulate the cell cycle in eukaryotic cells

Front 15

Cancer =

Back 15

Disease in which some of the body's own cells divide uncontrollably
