Interphase - The phase of the cell cycle where the cell grows and replicates its DNA., Prophase - The phase of mitosis where the chromosomes become visible as a pair of sister chromatids joined at the centromere., Metaphase - The stage in mitosis where chromosomes line up on the equator of the cell., Anaphase - The stage in mitosis when the newly separated chromatids are pulled towards opposite poles of the cell., Telophase - The final phase of mitosis, where two nuclear envelopes form around the two new nuclei., G1 - The stage of interphase where the cell is metabolically active and producing all it needs to grow (increase in size)., G2 - The stage of interphase where the cell continues to grow. The cell gets ready for cell division. , Cytokinesis - The phase follows the nuclear division. The cytoplasm and organelles divide into two identical daughter cells. , Centromere - The region of a chromosome where two sister chromatids are joined together, and where the spindle fibre attaches during cell division., Chromatin  - Loose (uncondensed), winding strands of DNA that contain genetic material., Meiosis - Leads to greater diversity in offspring., Mitosis - Produces genetically identical daughter cells. Leads to NO diversity., Reduction in the number of chromosomes - Meiosis, This process helps us grow, develop, heal, and repair tissues. - Mitosis , Crossing over, This process occurs during the S phase of the cell cycle. , G0 - A resting phase where the cell has left the cycle and has stopped dividing. Neurons stay in this phase most of the time. , S - The amount of DNA doubles during this phase. , Gametes or Germ cells - Egg and Sperm are also called _____, Checkpoints - Check for DNA damage and if the cell is big enough before dividing., Cancer cells - Do not obey checkpoints. These cells divide uncontrollably. ,
