nucleus - CORRECT ANSWER in a cell, an organelle with a double-layered porous
membrane surrounding the cell's DNA.
organelle - CORRECT ANSWER A structure within a cell that has a specific function.
ribosomes - CORRECT ANSWER Small, granular cell structures involved in the
manufacture of proteins.
spindle fibers - CORRECT ANSWER Tiny tubules that attach themselves to the
chromosomes during mitosis.
telophase - CORRECT ANSWER The final stage of mitosis, during which new nuclei
are formed.
vacuole - CORRECT ANSWER in a cell, a fluid-filled organelle that stores wastes, water
food and other materials.
prophase - CORRECT ANSWER The first stage in mitosis during which the
chromosomes contract and the nucleolus and nuclear membrane disappear. Spindle
fibers form.
Cell Theory - CORRECT ANSWER All living organisms are composed of one or more
cells. Cells are the basic units of structure and function in all organisms. All cells come
from previously existing cells. The activity of an entire organism depends on the total
activity of its independent cells.
anaphase - CORRECT ANSWER The stage of mitosis when the duplicated
chromosomes move apart to opposite ends of the cell.
cell cycle - CORRECT ANSWER in a cell, the continuous process of mitosis, cell
division, growth and interphase.
cell plate - CORRECT ANSWER in plant cell division, develops to form a cell wall
between the two new cells.
