Process in which a cell divides into two new daughter cells.

• cell division
• sexual reproduction
• chromatin
• interphase

Process of reproduction involving a single parent that results in offspring that are genetically identical to the parent.

• asexual reproduction
• chromosome
• cell cycle
• mitosis

Type of reproduction in which cells from two parents unite to form the first cell of a new organism.

• sexual reproduction
• chromatin
• interphase
• cytokinesis

Threadlike structure within the nucleus of that contains genetic information that is passed on from one generation to the next.

• chromosome
• cell cycle
• mitosis
• prophase

Substance found in eukaryotic chromosomes that consists of DNA tightly coiled around histones.

• chromatin
• interphase
• cytokinesis
• chromatid

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

• cell cycle
• mitosis
• prophase
• centromere

Period of the cell cycle between cell divisions in which the cell grows.

• interphase
• cytokinesis
• chromatid
• centriole

Part of eukaryotic cell division during which the cell nucleus divides.

• mitosis
• prophase
• centromere
• metaphase

Division of the cytoplasm to form two separate daughter cells.

• cytokinesis
• chromatid
• centriole
• anaphase

First and longest phase of mitosis in which the genetic material inside the nucleus condenses and the chromosomes become visible.
