Answer: series of events that cells go through as they grow and divide
●● centriole
, Answer: organelles that aid in cellular division
●● spindle fibers
Answer: Strings that move chromosomes during cell division.
●● interphase
Answer: Cell grows, performs its normal functions, and prepares for
division; consists of G1, S, and G2 phases
●● prophase
Answer: 1st stage of mitosis - Chromosomes become visable, nuclear
envelope dissolves, spindle forms
●● metaphase
