Interphase, Stage in the cell cycle where the cell has two growth phases and DNA is replicated., Prophase, Longest stage in mitosis in which chromosomes become visible, nuclear envelop dissolves, spindle forms., Metaphase, second phase of mitosis, during which the chromosomes line up across the centre of the cell and attach to spindle fibres at the centromere., Anaphase, Phase of mitosis in which the chromosomes separate and move to opposite ends of the cell, Telophase, Phase of mitosis in which the distinct individual chromosomes begin to spread out into a tangle of chromatin and the nuclear membrane reforms., Cytokinesis, Division of the cytoplasm to form two separate daughter cells., Checkpoints in cell cycle, Occur throughout the cell cycle to check if the cell is growing and replicating DNA correctly., Chromosomes, Threadlike structures made of DNA molecules that contain the genes, Chromatin, Substance found in eukaryotic chromosomes that consists of DNA tightly coiled around histones, Chromatids, Joined strands of duplicated genetic material, Centromere, Area where the chromatids of a chromosome are attached., Centrioles, Located near the nucleus and help to organise the spindle fibres in animals during cell division., Cell plate, Forms during cytoplasmic division in plant cells; forms to divides the cytoplasm and create two daughter cells., Histone, Protein molecule around which DNA is tightly coiled in chromatin., Nucleosome, A structural unit of a eukaryotic chromosome, consisting of a length of DNA coiled around a core of histones., Spindle fibres (microtubules), Protein structures which move the chromosomes during cell division., Replication, Copying process by which a cell duplicates its DNA, G1 checkpoint, Checks for cell size, nutrients, growth factors and DNA damage, G2 checkpoint, Checks for cell size and DNA replication, M checkpoint, Spindle assembly checkpoint. Mitosis will not continue if chromosomes are not properly aligned.
