| 6086841884 | mitosis | A process that takes place in the nucleus of a dividing cell, involves a series of steps, and results in the formation of two new nuclei each having the same number of chromosomes as the parent nucleus. |  | 1 |
| 6086841885 | interphase | Period of time where a cell carries out cell processes and replicates DNA prior to cell division |  | 2 |
| 6086841886 | prophase | Chromatin condenses into chromosomes | 3 | |
| 6086841887 | metaphase | Chromosomes line up in the middle of the cell | 4 | |
| 6086841888 | anaphase | Sister chromatids separate | 5 | |
| 6086841889 | telophase | After the chromosome separates, the cell seals off, Final Phase of Mitosis. | 6 | |
| 6086841890 | chromatid | Each half of the chromosome |  | 7 |
| 6086841891 | chromosome | A doubled rod of condensed chromatin; contains DNA that carries genetic information |  | 8 |

| 6086841896 | G2 phase | interphase stage prepares to divide by copying organelles | 12 | |
| 6086841897 | S phase | interphase stage of cell cycle where cell replicates DNA | 13 | |
| 6086841898 | Mitosis | stage of cell cycle where the nucleus divides | 14 | |
| 6086841899 | Interphase | Majority of cell cycle is in this stage | 15 | |
| 6086841901 | Checkpoints | stop to the cell cycle to check for damage | 16 | |
| 6086841902 | Cancer | Cells skip checkpoints and divide uncontrollably | 17 | |
| 6086841903 | Prophase | first stage of mitosis, nuclear envelope disappears, chromosomes condense | 18 | |
| 6086841904 | Metaphase | second stage of mitosis, centrioles move to opposite ends of cell, spindle fibers attach to chromosomes, chromosomes line up in middle | 19 | |
| 6086841905 | Anaphase | third stage of mitosis, spindle fibers shorten pulling chromosomes apart | 20 | |
| 6086841906 | Telophase | fourth stage of mitosis, cells begin to form cleavage furrow (animal) or cell plate (plant) and divide | 21 | |
