Cell cycle
the regular pattern of growth, DNA duplication, and cell division that occurs in eukaryotic cells
Mitosis
The divisor of the nucleus and its contents
Cytokinesis
the process that divides the cell cytoplasm
Chromosome
A lone continuous thread of DNA that consists of numerous genes along with regulatory information
Histone
Each chromosome is associated with a group of proteins call this _________
Chromatin
A loosed combination of DNA and protein
Chromatid
one half of a duplicated chromosome
Centromere
Sister chromatids are held together at this point
Telomere
Repeated nucleotide at the end of the DNA molecule that don't form genes and help prevent the loss of genes
Prophase
Chromatin condenses into tightly coiled chromosomes. The nuclear envelope breaks down, the nucleolus disappears, and the centrioles began to migrate to opposite sides of the cell.
Metaphase
phase of mitosis when chromosomes line along the center of the cell equator
Anaphase
sister chromatids separate from each other. The spindle fibers begin to shorten, pulling the sister chromatids to opposite sides of the cell.
Telophase
A complete set of identical chromosomes is positioned at each pole of the cell. The nuclear membrane starts to form.
