| # | Definition | Sets |
| 1 | the final stage of mitosis or meiosis, during which a nuclear membrane forms around each set of new chromosomes | 39 sets |
| 2 | the final stage of meiosis when the chromosomes move toward opposite ends of the nuclear spindle | 38 sets |
| 3 | the final stage of mitosis | 30 sets |
| 4 | fourth and final phase of mitosis, during which the chromosomes begin to disperse into a tangle of dense material | 28 sets |
| 5 | the final stage of mitosis or meiosis | 15 sets |
| 6 | the final stage of meiosis or mitosis, in which the separated chromosomes reach the opposite poles of the dividing cell and the nuclei of the daughter cells form around the two sets of chromosomes | 13 sets |
| 7 | last phase of mitosis, chromosome are in two new cells and nuclear membranes start to reform | 12 sets |
| 8 | the cell membrane begins to pinch the cell in two as cytokinesis begins | 11 sets |
| 9 | final stage of mitosis and of meiosis i and ii, in which the chromosomes reach the spindle poles, nuclear envelopes form around each set of daughter chromosomes, and the nucleoli reappear | 10 sets |
| 10 | final phase of mitosis during which new cells prepare for their own independent existence | 9 sets |
| 11 | after the chromosomes reach opposite ends of the cell, the spindle fibers disassemble and the chromosomes return to a less tightly coiled chromatin state | 8 sets |
| 12 | the final stage of mitosis during which a nuclear membrane forms around each set of new chromosomes | 8 sets |
| 13 | final phase of mitosis | 6 sets |
| 14 | the fifth and final stage of mitosis, in which daughter nuclei are forming and cytokinesis has typically begun. | 6 sets |
| 15 | the chromosomes gather at opposite ends of the cell and lose their shapes. two new nuclear membranes begin to form | 5 sets |
| 16 | tear into two | 5 sets |
| 17 | the fourth and final step of mitosis | 5 sets |
| 18 | the final stage of mitosis or meiosis, during which a nuclear membrane form around each set of new chromosomes | 5 sets |
| 19 | the chromosomes gather at opposite ends of the cell and lose their distinct shapes. two new nuclear membranes form. | 5 sets |
| 20 | nuclear membrane reappears | 5 sets |
| 21 | last stage of mitosis in which nucleoli reappear. two new nuclear membranes begin to form, but the cell has not yet completely divided | 5 sets |
| 22 | | 5 sets |
| 23 | fourth and final phase of mitosis, during which the chromosomes begin to disperse into a tangle of dense material. | 4 sets |
| 24 | nuclear membrane reforms | 4 sets |
| 25 | fourth and final phase of mitosis during which the chromosomes begin to disperse into a tangle of dense material | 4 sets |
| 26 | chromosomes stretch out, nuclear membrane forms, and new nucleous appears | 4 sets |
| 27 | fourth phase of mitosis | 4 sets |
| 28 | the 5th and final stage of mitosis, in which daughter nuclei form at the two poles of a cell. this usually occurs with cytokinesis. | 3 sets |
| 29 | nuclear envelope appears | 3 sets |
| 30 | spindle breaks down | 3 sets |
| 31 | 2 new nuclear envelopes form round the 2 groups of chromosomes at poles and the cell splits | 3 sets |
| 32 | the final phase of mitosis | 3 sets |
| 33 | chromosomes start to uncoil | 3 sets |
| 34 | chromosomes stop moving toward the poles. | 3 sets |
| 35 | nuclear membrane reforms around the chromatin | 3 sets |
| 36 | last stage of mitosis in which nucleoli reappear | 3 sets |
| 37 | the chromosomes gather at opposite ends of the cell and lose their distinct shapes. two new nuclear envelopes will form. | 3 sets |
| 38 | the fourth and final stage of mitosis, during which daughter nuclei form at the two poles of a cell; usually occurs together with cytokinesis. | 3 sets |
| 39 | chromosome gather at opposite ends and the cell loses its distinct shape | 3 sets |
| 40 | the fifth and final subphase of mitosis, in which daughter nuclei are forming and cytokinesis has typically begun. | 3 sets |
