Flashcards

Interphase

A period before mitosis where the cell grows and replicates its DNA.

Mitosis

The process of cell division that produces two identical daughter cells.

Prophase

Chromosomes condense, becoming shorter and thicker. Centrioles move to opposite poles, forming the spindle. The nuclear envelope breaks down.

Metaphase

Chromosomes line up along the middle of the cell, attached to the spindle by their centromere.

Anaphase

Centromeres divide, separating sister chromatids. Spindles contract, pulling chromatids to opposite poles, forming a V-shape.
