| 6302323755 | Prophase | DNA coils into chromosomes Nuclear envelope starts to break down Spindle starts to form from centrioles |  | 22 |
| 6302329770 | Centrioles | Organelle in animal cells that is involved in cell division. It creates the spindles. | 23 | |
| 6302331811 | Metaphase | Chromosomes line up at the center of cell Spindles connect to each chromosome |  | 24 |
| 6302334118 | Anaphase | Chomatids break apart Chromosomes move to opposite ends of the cell |  | 25 |
| 6302336730 | Telophase | New nuceli form - nuclear envelope reappears Chromosomes start to uncoil Mitotic spindle disappears |  | 26 |
| 6302346308 | Cytokinesis (Plants vs. Animals) | Animal Cells - the cell membrane gets pinched in the center of the cell Plant cells - a cell plate forms, which will turn into a new cell wall and cell membrane | 27 | |
| 6345134480 | Cleavage furrow | Area where two cells are being pinched apart during cytokinesis |  | 28 |
| 6345142722 | Prokaryotic cells | Use binary fission for cell division. |  | 29 |

| 6440125755 | External regulators | Things outside cell that control the cell cycle | 39 | |
| 6440125771 | Internal regulators | Things inside cell that control cell cycle | 40 | |

| 6440135160 | Checkpoint | Example of an Internal regulator | 43 | |
| 6440140577 | Two ways cells know when to stop dividing | Outside signals tell cells when to divide Most cells stop dividing when they touch other cells | 44 | |
| 6440146132 | 4 ways cancer cells are different from normal cells | Cells don't respond to normal regulators Can invade other tissues/organs Don't go through apoptosis Damaged DNA | 45 | |
