Mitosis Flashcards
Chromtid
One of the two identical strands into which a chromosome splits during mitosis
Metaphase
The second stage of meiosis
Anaphase
The stage of meiosis or mitosis when chromosomes move toward opposite ends of the nuclear spindle
Mitosis
The process by which a cell divides into two smaller cells
Eukaryotes
An organism with a nucleus
Telophase
The final stage of meiosis when the chromosomes move toward opposite ends of the nuclear spindle
Chromosomes
A threadlike strand of DNA that carries genes
Cell division
The process in reproduction and growth by which a cell divides to form daughter cells
Replicate
Reproducing to make an exact copy of a cell
Nucleus
A part of the cell responsible for growth and reproduction/control center
Spindle
As mitosis begins, the chromosomes line up along the center of the cell by attaching to the fibers of the cell spindle
(Cell) membrane
A sheet of tissue that lines or connects organs or cells/ surrounds cells
Prophase
The first stage of meiosis
