What is Mitosis
Cell Division that results in two daughter cells each having the same number and kind of chromosomes the parent cell.
what is Chromatid
Half of a replicated chromosome
what is Metaphase
2nd phase in the cell cycle where all genetic material is condensing into chromosomes;as the chromosomes appear,the nuclear disappears chromosomes line up in the middle of the cell.
what is chromosome
The condensed version of chromatin
what is Chromatin
The material of which chromesomes are composed, it consists of protein ,Rna,and Dna;Dna unwound in the nucleus prior to mitosis
what is Anaphase
3rd stage of division in which the chromosomes move away from one another to opposite poles of the spindle
what is cytokinesis
The final division of a cell at the end of mitosis Bringing about the separation of into two identical daughter cells, the final step of the cell cycle
What is interphase
The longest part of the cell cycle where cells grow replicate (copies) Dna, and prepare for mitosis
what is Diploid
A cell that contains two complete sets of chromosomes,one from each parent (humans have 23 pairs of chromosomes)
what is telophase
The final phase of mitosis in which the chromatids or chromosomes move to opposite ends of cells and two nuclei are formed;the chromatids begin to unwind back into chromatin\
what is Somatic
Any cell in the body except for the reproductive cells (egg and sperm)
what is Prophase
The first stage of cell division,before metaphase,during which the chromosomes become visible as paired chromatids and the nuclear envelope disappears .
