Vocabulary for week of: Jan. 30 – Feb. 3
1. Centrioles:
2. Chromosome:
3. Spindle fibers:
4. Interphase:
5. Mitosis:
6. Prophase:.
7. Metaphase:
8. Anaphase:
9. Telophase:
10.Cytokinesis:
A. a pair of small cylindrical
structures composed of
microtubules. These create the
“poles” during cell division.
B. cell process following meiosis or
mitosis when the cytoplasm of
the cell and its organelles split
into the newly formed cells.
C. third stage in mitosis where
chromosomes split and move to
opposite ends of the cell.
D. cell structures that carry the
genetic information of DNA.
“Super-coiled DNA”
E. cell structures composed of
microtubules that stretch
between the centrioles and
shorten during anaphase of
mitosis. “The lines of the
clothesline”
F. second and shortest stage of
mitosis where chromosomes
move to the middle (equator) of
the cell.
G. final phase of mitosis where the
cell nuclei are completely divided
and the cells begin to create new
nuclear membranes around the
split DNA.
H. cell structures that carry the
genetic information of DNA.
“Super-coiled DNA”
I. the stage of a cell’s life cycle
when it makes DNA and
organelles. The cell does not
divide during this phase.
J. division of the nucleus of the cell.
When a cell creates an identical
copy of itself.
K. second and shortest stage of
mitosis where chromosomes
move to the middle (equator) of
the cell.
L. first and longest phase of mitosis
where chromatin (stringy DNA)
coils into visible chromosomes
