|
A. |
Growth Factor |
| __ |
One of the two strands of a chromosome that become visible during meiosis or mitosis
|
B. |
Centromere |
| __ |
The region of the chromosomes that holds the two sister chromatids together during mitosis
|
C. |
Prophase |
| __ |
First phase of mitosis when chromatin condenses, the nuclear envelope breaks down, the nucleolus disappears, and the centrosomes and centrioles migrate to opposite sides of the cell;
|
D. |
Anaphase |
| __ |
Second phase of mitosis when spindle fibers align in the chromosome along the cell equator
|
E. |
Malignant |
| __ |
Third phase of mitosis during which chromatids separate and are pulled to opposite sides of the cell
|
F. |
Cell Cycle |
| __ |
Last phase of mitosis when a complete set of identical chromosomes is positioned at each pole of the cell, the nuclear membranes start to form, the chromosomes begin to uncoil, and the spindle fibers disassemble
