Cellular Reproduction // Mitosis Vocab

phase of mitosis in which the chromosomes separate and move to opposites sides of the cell

• anaphase
• metaphase
• telophase
• prophase

process in which a prokaryotic cell replicates its DNA and then divides in half to produce two identical cells

• meiosis
• cell division
• mitosis
• binary fission

disorder in which some of the body's cell lose the ability to control growth

• leukemia
• metastasis
• tumor
• cancer

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

• cell growth and division
• cell replication
• cell cycle
• cell division

division of the cytoplasm to form two separate daughter cells

• mitosis
• meiosis
• apoptosis
• cytokinesis

process of copying DNA prior to cell division

• DNA translation

• DNA transcription
• DNA synthesis

period of the cell cycle between cell divisions

• interphase
• telophase
• cytokinesis
• mitosis

phase of mitosis in which chromosomes line up across the middle of the cell

• metaphase
• prophase
• anaphase
• telophase

part of eukaryotic cell division during which the nucleus divides

• meiosis
