|---|---|
 Interphase | the stage of the cell cycle that takes place before cell division occurs; during this stage, the cell grows, copies its DNA, and prepares to divide |
| Metaphase | second phase of mitosis, during which the chromosomes line up across the center of the cell |
| Mitosis | the division of the cell nucleus |
| Parent Cell | original cell from which new cells are formed |
| Prophase | first stage of mitosis, during which the cell's DNA condenses into chromosomes |
| Spindle Fibers | String like fibers that help to guide the chromosomes to the opposite ends of the cell |
| Telophase | the chromosomes gather at opposite ends of the cell and lose their distinct shapes. Two new nuclear membranes form. |
| Cytokinesis | The division of the cytoplasm to form two separate daughter cells immediately after mitosis |
| Centromere | Constricted region of chromosome that holds two replicated chromosome strands together |
| Cell cycle | Series of events that cells go through as they grow and divide |
| Daughter cells | New cells produced by cell division |
| Chromosomes | Coiled up/condensed structures that contain genetic information |
