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