Term Definition
mitosis part of eukaryotic cell division during which the cell nucleus divides
four phases of mitosis prophase, metaphase, anaphase, telophase
prophase the chromatin condenses into chromosomes, the centrioles separate and a spindle forms, the nuclear envelope breaks down
metaphase chromosomes line up across center of cell, each chromosome is connected to a spindle fiber at its centromere
anaphase the sister chromatids separate and are moved apart
telophase chromosomes gather at opposite ends of cell and lose their shape, two new nuclear envelopes will form
interphase cell grows and replicates DNA and centrioles
cytokinesis cytoplasm pinches in half, each daughter cell has an identical set of duplicate chromosomes
centrioles two tiny structures located in the cytoplasm and near the nuclear envelope
spindle a fanlike microtubule structure that helps seperate chromosomes
centromere where the chromatids of a chromosome are attached
