• cell cycle

DNA-containing structure that carries genetic material from one generation to another.

• carinogens

• centromere

• nucleosome

• chromosomes

Tags

NGSS.HS-LS3-1

repeating subunit of chromatin fibers, consisting of DNA coiled around histones

• nucleosome

• mitosis

• chromosomes

• prophase

process of cellular reproduction, occurring in three main stages—interphase (growth), mitosis (nuclear division), and cytokinesis (cytoplasm division)

• interphase

• water cycle

• cell cycle

• prophase

NGSS.HS-LS1-4

first stage of the cell cycle, during which a cell grows, matures, and replicates its DNA

• anaphase

• interphase

• prophase

• mitosis

second main stage of the cell cycle during which the cell’s replicated DNA divides and two genetically identical diploid daughter cells are produced

• spindle apparatus

• cyclins

• mitosis

• centromere

Tags

NGSS.HS-LS1-4

first stage of mitosis, during which the cell’s chromatin condenses into chromosomes

• anaphase

• interphase

Tags

NGSS.HS-LS1-4

structure that contains identical DNA copies and is formed during DNA replication

Tags

NGSS.HS-LS1-4

structure made of spindle fibers, centrioles, and aster fibers that is involved in moving and organizing chromosomes before the cell divides
