Flagella

A

Propel the cell

17
Q

Mitosis

A

Replicates the DNA; separates the DNA into 2 identical cells

18
Q

4 phases of mitosis

A

Prophase, metaphase, anaphase and telophase

19
Q

Interphase

A

Period between cell division; cell growth

20
Q

Chromatin

A

Loose thread like DNA

21
Q

Prophase

A

Threads thicken; condense into chromosomes

22
Q

Metaphase

A

Chromosomes line up in the exact center of the spindle

23
Q

Anaphase

A

Centromere split; cytoplasm begins to constrict

24
Q

Telophase

A

Chromosomes turn back into chromatin;nuclear envelope appears; cytokinesis (separates the cytoplasm)
