anaphase - The stage of mitosis in which the separated chromosomes move away from each other., asexual reproduction - Producing new organisms from one parent only. These organisms are genetically identical to the parent., cancer cell - Cell that divides uncontrollably., cell cycle - A sequence of growth and division that happens in cells. It includes interphase and mitosis, and leads to the production of two daughter cells that are identical to the parent cell., clone - Offspring from asexual reproduction. All the cells in a clone are genetically identical to each other and to the parent’s cells., cytokinesis - When the cytoplasm of the cell is separated as the cell membrane is pinched to divide the cell into two daughter cells., daughter cell - New cell produced by cell division., diploid - A cell with two sets of chromosomes., DNA replication - The copying of the DNA within a cell., haploid - A cell with one set of chromosomes., interphase - The stage when the cell prepares itself for the process of cell division, and DNA replication takes place. The cell also makes more of its sub-cellular structures., metaphase - The stage of mitosis when the chromosomes line up across the middle of the cell., mitosis - The process of cells dividing to produce two daughter cells that are genetically identical to the parent., multicellular - An organism that is made of many cells., prophase - The stage of mitosis in which the nucleus starts to break down and spindle fibres appear., spindle fibre - Filament formed in a cell during mitosis, which helps to separate chromosomes., telophase - The stage of mitosis in which the chromosomes arrive at opposite ends of the cell and the nucleus membrane reforms., tumour - Lump formed of cancer cells.,
