Definition
a cylindrical organelle in animal cells thaat is involved in cell division
Centrioles form spindle fibers which seperate chromosomes during cell division |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
the part of a chromosome where the chromatids are attached
During mitosis, spindle fibers attach to the chromosome at the centromere |

Definition
| one of two identical halves of a replicated chromosome |

Term
|
Definition
DNA strands in the nucleuos during interphase
Chromatin stains dark, making it relatively easy to see. (the Greek root "chroma" means "color" |

Term
|
Definition
a structure formed from condensed chromatin
Chromosomes consist of two identical chromatids attached at the centromere, giving them a characteristic"X" shape
Chromosomes occur in pairs. Human cells have 23 pairs of chromosomes, or 46 total chromosomes |

Term
|
Definition
the equal division of the chromosomes into two genetically identical daughter nuclei. Mitosis consists of four stages
During phophrase, chromosomes form from condensed chromatin
During metaphase, the chromosomes line up along the center axis of the cell
During anaphase, the chromosomes split up and chromatids are pulled to opposite ends of the cell
During telophase, a new nuclear membrane forms around each set of chromatids |
