spindle fibers during cell division
C. CENTROSOME
______ Area where the chromatids of a chromosome are attached
D. CENTROMERE
______ Tiny log-like structures located in the cytoplasm of animal cells
near the nuclear envelope that help guide the chromosomes apart
during cell division
E. CHROMATID
______ One of two identical “sister” parts or arms of a duplicated
chromosome
______ Series of events including interphase, mitosis, and cytokinesis that
cells go through as they grow and divide
F. CENTRIOLES
*
______ Third phase of mitosis during which the chromatid arms
separate and move to opposite ends of the cell
______ Phase of the cell cycle in between divisions in which cells spend most
of their time growing and carrying out their cellular functions in the body
A. METAPHASE
B. PROPHASE
C. INTERPHASE
______ First and longest phase of mitosis during which chromosomes
become visible, centrioles appear and move to opposite poles,
and the nuclear membrane and nucleolus disappear.
D. ANAPHASE
E. TELOPHASE
nd
______ 2 phase of mitosis during which the chromosomes line up
along the center of the cell
______ 4th and last phase of mitosis during which TWO nuclei are visible;
the chromosomes spread out as chromatin, the nuclear membrane and
nucleolus return, and mitotic spindle and centrioles disappear
