A process that cells go through as they grow and divide

Mitosis

Division of the cells

DNA Replication

The process of making a copy of DNA

Chromosome

A thing that is in the cell nucleus that contain the genetic material.

Chromatid

Each half of the chromosome

Gap1 (G1)

The Cell Grows

Synthesis (S)

DNA is copied

Gap2 (G2)

Additional growth of the cell

Interphase

Prophase

Metaphase

Anaphase

Telophase

Cytokinesis

Period of the cell cycle between cell divisions

Interphase

Chromosomes form

Prophase

Chromosomes line up in the middle of the cell

Metaphase

Phase of mitosis in which the chromosomes separate and move to opposite ends of the cell

Anaphase

The phase where the cell splits

Telophase

The phase where the cells have split into 2 sister cells

Cytokinesis

Most cells are in which stage of the cell cycle?

GAP1

What is produced at the end of mitosis?

2 Identical cells

What do we call cells that have uncontrolled mitosis?

Cancer Cells
