Mitosis
|
The way body cells divide to create identical cells that are clones. Also called copying division
|
|
Meiosis
|
The way sex cell divide to create new cells that are not the same as the original cell. Also called reduction division.
|
|
Chromosome
|
They are thread-like structure in the nucleus carrying the genetics information of a cell.
|
|
Centrosomes
|
Area that the centrioles form in.
|
|
Centrioles
|
It's the T-like shape formed in centrosome. They are what the spindle fibers connect to.
|
|
Nuclear membrane
|
Two-layered surrounding the nucleus of a living cell.
|
|
Spindle fibers
|
A protein structure that divides the genetic material in a cell
|
|
Interphase |
It's where the cell stays before the cell begins to divide. Cell begins their preparation for cell division in here.
|
|
Prophase |
Centrioles moves opposite ends of the cell forming spindle made from fibers. Each chromosome is called centromere.
|
|
Metaphase
|
Chromosomes line up at the equator and attach to the centromere.
|
|
Anaphase |
Centromere splits and move to the opposite poles of the cell, becomes independent chromosomes.
|
|
Telophase |
Where spindle begins to disappear and nuclear starts to reform 2 sets of chromosomes forming 2 distinct nuclear envelopes chromosomes starts to uncoil.
|
|
Cytokinesis |
Cytoplasmic division, a cleavage furrow appears at the equator of the cell and deepens until cell separates.
