C ell Divis ion Vocabulary
S omatic c ell a body c ell; a cell whos e
genes will not be pas s ed on to future
generations .

Germ c ell - a c ell that is des tined to

bec ome a gamete (egg or s perm); a c ell
whos e genes c an be pas s ed on to
future generations
C ell Divis ion Vocabulary
diploid (2N) a c ell with 2 chromos ome
s ets in each of its c ells ; all body
(s omatic ) c ells

haploid (N) a c ell with 1 chromos ome

s et in eac h of its c ells ; all gametes
(s perm, eggs )

A ll living c ells c ome from other living
c ells .
During mitos is , the nuc leus of the c ell
divides , forming two nuc lei with
identic al genetic information.
 Mitos is
Mitos is produc es
two genetic ally
identic al c ells .
Mitos is is referred
to in the following
s tages : prophas e,
metaphas e,
anaphas e, and
telophas e.
 Prophas e
In prophas e, the c ell begins the proc es s of
divis ion.

 Metaphas e
The Centriole

 A naphas e
In anaphas e, the
c entromeres divide.

A t this point, eac h

c hromos ome goes
from having 2 s is ter
c hromatids to being
2 s eparate

 A naphas e
The s pindle fibers

c hromos omes are
pulled to oppos ite
poles .

 Telophas e
In telophas e the
nuc leus actually
divides .
The chromos omes are
at the poles of the c ell.
The nuc lear envelope
re-forms around the
two s ets of
c hromos omes .
