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