module 2•6 - cell division Flashcards
the division of cytoplasm during cell division
cytokinesis
the chromosomes are arranged at the equator during this phase
metaphase
chromosomes are identical in gene content and order
homologous
one of the two identical parts of the chromosomes
chromatid
the chromosomes condense, becoming thicker and shorter during this phase
prophase
the phase when chromatids are seperated to the poles
anaphase
the period in the cell cycle when DNA is replicated
interphase - synthesis
the last phase where chromosomes uncoil and lengthen
telophase
the number of identical cells formed in one mitotic division
two
the process by which the cell divides
mitosis
tiny fibres firmed during mitosis to separate chromatids to the poles
spindle
