LESSON 10: MITOSIS – BIOLOGY.
Quality content you can rely on!
Anaphase - Answer: Phase of mitosis in which the chromosomes separate and move to
opposite ends of the cell
Cell Cycle - Answer: Series of events in which a cell grows, prepares for division and
divides to form two daughter cells
Centriole - Answer: Structure in an animal cell that helps to organize cell division
Centromere - Answer: Region of a chromosome where the two sister chromatids attach
Chromatid - Answer: One of two identical "sister" parts of a duplicated chromosome
Chromatin - Answer: Substance found in eukaryotic chromosomes that consists of DNA
tightly coiled around histones
Chromosome - Answer: Threadlike structure of DNA and protein that contains genetic
information; in eukaryotes, they are found in the nucleus; in prokaryotes, they are found
in the cytoplasm
Cytokinesis - Answer: Division of the cytoplasm to form two separate daughter cells
Interphase - Answer: Period of the cell cycle between cell divisions
Metaphase - Answer: Phase of mitosis in which the chromosomes line up across the
center of the cell
Mitosis - Answer: Part of eukaryotic cell division during which the cell nucleus divides
