| nucleus | | attaches the chromatin into homologous pairs and attaches the chromosomes to the spindles |
| chromosome | | cell division in which daughter cells are formed that are exact copies of the parent cell |
| daughtercell | | chromosomes line up on the equator of the cell and attach to the spindles |
| centriole | | surrounds the nucleus to hold the genetic material of the cell; appears and disappears during mitosis phases |
| cell | | forms between two daughter cells at the end of telophase in plant cell mitosis |
| spindlefiber | | fully developed cell ready to undergo mitosis cell division |
| homologouspair | | longest part of cell cycle which is a period between cell division in which all cell processes occur with the exception of reproduction |
| nuclearmembrane | | basic unit of all living things |
| celldivision | | functioning part of the cell |
| organelle | | chromosomes separate and migrate to opposite sides of the cell towards the centrioles |
| centromere | | organelle that contains the genetic material in the cell and controls the cell activities |
| parentcell | | an exact copy of the parent cell, only smaller |
| metaphase | | process by which a cell divides and forms two new cells |
| interphase | | organelle that organizes the cell for reproduction |
| cellplate | | threadlike structure in the nucleus that is made up of DNA and protein |
| mitosis | | reproduction of the cytoplasm |
| cytokenises | | paired chromatin that are like copies of DNA |
| telophase | | guides the chromosomes movement during mitosis |
| anaphase | | spindle fibers disappear and the nuclear membrane reappears to form two new daughter cells |
| prophase | | first stage of mitosis where the chromosomes become shortened and doubled |
