anaphase
structure that helps to form the spindle
stage of interphase in which cell duplicates its cytosol and organelles
telophase
division of the cytoplasm (cytosol and organelles)
prophase
cell division
G1 phase
spindle
gamete
mitosis
metaphase
cell grows, prepares to divide, then divides to start growth process again; interphase + M phase
cell grows, performs its normal functions, and prepares for division; consists of G1, S, and G2 phases
meiosis
S phase
type of cell division that creates gametes; creates four cells that are genetically unique
sex cell, sperm or egg
phase of mitosis in which sister chromatids are pulled to opposite sides of the cell
centriole
G2 phase
last phase of mitosis, chromosome are in two new cells and nuclear membranes start to reform
first phase of mitosis in which chromosomes become visible and nuclear membraine disappears
phase of mitosis in which chromosomes line up in the center of the cell
cytokinesis
division of a parent cell into daughter cells
stage of interphase in which DNA is replicated
stage of interphase in which cell grows and performs its normal functions
cell cycle
microtubule structure that separates chromosomes during mitosis
division of the nucleus or chromosomes; creates two genetically identical cells
interphase
