threadlike structure within a cell's nucleus that contains DNA

• chromosome

• centromere

• chromatid

• cytokinesis

NGSS.MS-LS3-1

the series of events in which a cell grows, prepares for division, and divides to form two daughter cells

• cell cycle

• binary fission

• mitosis

• cytokinesis

NGSS.HS-LS1-4

region that holds chromatids together

• mitosis

• nucleus

• replication

• centromere

the final stage of the cell cycle during which the cell's cytoplasm divides, distributing the organelles into each of the two new daughter cells

• chromosome

• cytokinesis

• cell cycle

• binary fission

the second stage of the cell cycle during which the cell nucleus divides into two new nuclei and one set of DNA is distributed into each daughter cell

• cell cycle

• interphase

• cytokinesis

• mitosis

in cells, a large oval organelle that contains the cell's genetic material in the form of DNA and controls many of the cell's activities

• chromosome

• nucleus

• centromere

• chromatid

the genetic material that carries information about organisms and is passed from parent to offspring

• DNA

• nucleus

• chromosome

• cytokinesis

NGSS.MS-LS3-2

structure formed when a cell divides

• chromosome

• nucleus

• chromatid

• centromere

the first stage of the cell cycle that take place before cell division occurs, during which a cell grows and makes a copy of its DNA

• binary fission

• cytokinesis

• mitosis

• interphase

the process by which a cell makes a copy of DNA in its nucleus before cell division

• interphase

• replication

• mitosis

• cell cycle
