Cells be Splittin'
The original cell in mitosis and meiosis.
Mother Cell
The rest phase and when the
chromosomes are duplicated.
Interphase
Genetic material in nucleus during
interphase; loose coiled strands.
Chromatin
2 new cells that result from mitosis.
Daughter Cells
Stage 1. Chromatin forms into
chromosomes that form pairs.
Prophase
Made up of DNA, they tell the cell what
to do.
Chromosomes
Most simple form of cell division done by
bacteria.
Binary Fisson
Stage 2. The chromosomes line up along
the center of the cell.
Metaphase
Cell containing two complete sets of
chromosomes, one from each parent.
Diploid
Cell division that ends with 2 new cells that
have the same set of chromosomes as the
original cell.
Mitosis
Stage 3. Spindles from the centrioles pull
the pairs of chromosomes apart to
opposite sides of the cell.
Anaphase
Cell having a single set of unpaired
chromosomes.
Haploid
Cell division that ends with 4 new cells that
have half the number of chromosomes as
the original cell.
Meiosis
Stage 4. A new nucleus forms around each
set of chromosomes. Cell pinches in the
middle.
Telophase
Organelle that uses spindle or fibers to pull
the chromosomes apart during mitosis and
meiosis.
Centriole
