cell division(1)-The process by which a cell divides to form two daughter cells. Upon completion of the process, each daughter cell contains the same genetic material as the original cell and roughly half of its cytoplasm.
chromatid-(2)Either of the two daughter strands of a replicated chromosome that are joined by a single centromere and separate during cell division to become individual chromosomes.
centromere-(3)Either of the two daughter strands of a replicated chromosome that are joined by a single
centromere and separate during cell division to become individual chromosomes.
interphase-(4)The stage of a cell between two successive mitotic or meiotic divisions.
cell cycle-(5)The series of events involving the growth, replication, and division of a eukaryotic cell.
mitosis-(6)The process in cell division by which the nucleus divides, typically consisting of four stages, prophase, metaphase, anaphase, and telophase, and normally resulting in two new nuclei, each of which contains a complete copy of the parental chromosomes. It's also called karyokinesis. The entire process of cell division including division of the nucleus and the cytoplasm
prophase-(7)The first stage of mitosis, during which the chromosomes condense and become visible, the nuclear membrane breaks down, and the spindle apparatus forms at opposite poles of the cell.
centriole-(8)One of two cylindrical cellular structures that are composed of nine triplet microtubules and form the asters during mitosis.
spindle-(9)A rod or pin, tapered at one end and usually weighted at the other, on which fibers are spun by hand into thread and then wound.
metaphase- (10)is a stage of mitosis in the eukaryotic cell in which condensed chromosomes, carrying genetic information, align in the middle of the cell before being separated into each of the two daughter cells.
anaphaset-(11) to be disjoined
lophase-(12) any of a group of enzymes tat catalyze the hydrolysis of fats into glycerol and fatty acids.
cytokinesis-(13) The division of the cytoplasm of a cell following the division of the nucleus.
cyclin- (14)a class of proteins that fluctuate in concentration at a specific points during the cell cycle and that regulate the cycle by binding to a kinase.
cancer-(15)is but a large group of almost one hundred diseases. It's two main characteristics are uncontrolled growth of the cells in the human body and the ability of these cells to migrate from the original site and spread to distant sites. Cancer can lead to death.
