Term
binary fission
Definition
the division of the prokaryotic cell into two offspring cells

reproduction involving only one parent the offspring is genetically identical to the parent
Term

Term
interphase
Definition
the time between cell divisions, includes the G1, S, and the G2 phases.
Term
cytokinesis
Definition
the division of the cell's cytoplasm following mitoisis or meiosis
Term
prophase
Definition
the first stage of mitosis
Term
spindle fibers
Definition
these are microtubules formed during prophase that move and hold chromosomes in place during the stages of mitosis
Term
metaphase
Definition
the 2nd stage of mitosis where chromosomes line up at the middle of the cell
Term
anaphase
Definition
3rd stage of mitosis where chromosomes are moved to opposite ends of the cell
Term
