Anaphase
Twin copies of the chromosomes get separated and move to the opposite sides of
the cell.
Cell division
The method of one cell dividing into two cells. Mitosis, Meosis
Cell plate
The site of growth of a new cell wall between the two new daughter cells in
the mitosis of plant cells.
Centromere
Site of attachment for sister chromosomes. Spindle fibers attach here.
Chromatids
A chromatid is one of the two identical copies of DNA making up a duplicated
chromosome, which are joined at their centromeres, for the process of cell
division.
Chromatin
Threadlike coils of chromosomes.
Chromosome
-Rod-shaped cell structure that directs the activities of the cell and passes on
the traits to new cells.
Condensing-
The shortening of the thread-like chromatin into the visible chromosomes.
Cytokinesis
The division of the cytoplasm in the cell.
Daughter cells
The two new cells formed by cell division.
Furrow
The site of pinching of the cell membrane during cytokinesis
Interphase-
First phase of cell division. Normal cell function. Chromosomes copied.
Metaphase-
Chromosomes move to the middle of the cell. Chromosomes attach to the
spindle fibers at the centromere
Mitosis-
The process of duplication and division of the nucleus of a cell and the formation of
two new daughter cells.
Phase-
Cell division is broken down into different parts called cells
Prophase-
Mitosis begins. Nuclear membrane disappears, chromatin shortens to become
Chromosomes, centrioles move to opposite ends of the cell, spindle fibers form.
Sister chromosome
The duplicated chromosome that separates from the original during
Cell division
Spindle
Thread- like fibers attached to the chromosome pair that help separate the
chromosomes during cell division.
Telophase-
Chromosomes begin to uncoil to form chromatin, nuclear membrane reforms,
nucleolus reappears, mitosis is complete.
