Term
Prophase
Definition
the first stage of mitosis or meiosis in eukaryotic cell division, during which the nuclear envelope breaks down and strands of chromatin form into chromosomes.
Term
Metaphase
Definition
the stage in which the duplicated chromosomes line up along the equatorial plate of the spindle.
Term
Anaphase
Definition
the stage in mitosis or meiosis following metaphase in which the daughter chromosomes move away from each other to opposite ends of the cell.
Term
Telophase
Definition
the final stage of meiosis or mitosis, in which the separated chromosomes reach the opposite poles of the dividing cell and the nuclei of the daughter cells form around the two sets of chromosomes.
Term
nucleolus
Definition
a conspicuous, rounded body within the nucleus of a cell.
Term
acetic acid

is an organic compound with the chemical formula CH3CO2H (also written as CH3COOH). It is a colourless liquid that when undiluted
