Mitosis 2
Terms

copy deck
- The stage of the cell cycle during which the cell's nucleus divides into two nuclei and one copy of the DNA is distributed in each daughter cell.
- Mitosis
- Chromosomes line up across the center of the cell. Each chromosome attaches to a spindle fiber at its centromere, which still holds the chromatids together.
- Metaphase
- Chromosomes begin to spread out and lose rodlike appearance. New nuclear membrane forms around each region of chromosome.
- Telophase
- The regular sequence of growth and division that cells undergo.
- Cell Cycle
- The process by which a cell makes a copy of the DNA in its nucleus.
- Replication
- The stage of the cell cycle that takes place before cell division occurs; during this stage, the cell grows, copies its DNA, and prepares to divide.
- Interphase
- One of the pair of the identical rods of a chromosome.
- Chromatid
- The final stage of the cell cycle, in which the cell's cytoplasm divides, distributing the organelles into each of the two new cells
- Cytokinesis
- Centromeres split. Two chromatids separate. Move to opposite ends of the cell. Opposite ends pull apart.
- Anaphase
- Chromatin in the nucleus condenses to form chromosomes. Spindle fibers form. Nuclear membrane breaks down.
- Prophase
