Cell having a single set of unpaired chromosomes
Haploid
Division of the cell at the end of mitosis & meiosis
Cytokinesis
A new nucleus forms around each set of chromosomes cell pinches in the middle
Telophase
Cell division that ends with 4 new cells that have half the number of chromosomes as the original cell.
Meiosis
The rest phase and when the chromosomes are duplicated
Interphase
2 new cells that result from mitosis
Daughter cell
Genetic material in nucleus during interphase; loose coiled strands
Chromatin
Cell division that ends with 2 new cells that have the same set of chromosomes as the original cell
Mitosis
Chromatin forms into chromosomes that form pairs
Prophase
Organelle that uses spindle or fibers to pull the chromosomes apart during mitosis and meiosis
Centriole
The original cell in mitosis & meiosis
Mother cell
The chromosomes line up along the center of the cell
Metaphase
Most simple form of cell division done by bacteria
Binary Fission
Spindles from the centrioles pull the pairs of chromosomes apart to opposite sides of the cell
Anaphase
Made up of DNA, they tell the cell what to do
Chromosome
Cell containing two complete sets of chromosomes, one from each parent
Diploid
