meiosis\tmitosis\tdaughter cells\tbinary fission
anaphase\tdiploids\tmetaphase\ttelophase

1. the chromosomes separate and move to the opposite sides of the cell in this phase of mitosis
2. the normal state of a cell
3. the splitting of the cells in mitosis
4. process that makes an exact copy of a cell
5. process used when it is time for an entire organism to reproduce
6. original cell
7. the cell walls pinch off and split down the middle during this phase of mitosis
8. the new cells produced
9. cells produced from mitosis because they have two complete sets of chromosomes
10. first step of mitosis
11. part of mitosis when the chromosomes line up
12. cell division process for simple organisms

Explanation:

1. Anaphase: Chromosomes separate and move to opposite poles in anaphase of mitosis.
2. Interphase: The cell's normal (non - dividing) state, where it prepares for division.
3. Cytokinesis: The physical splitting of the cell into two after mitosis.
4. Mitosis: The process of making an exact copy of a cell (for growth, repair, etc.).
5. Meiosis: Used for sexual reproduction of the entire organism (produces gametes).
6. Mother cell: The original cell before division.
7. Telophase: In telophase, the cell membrane pinches off (in animal cells) or cell wall forms (in plant cells) to split the cell.
8. Daughter cells: The new cells produced after cell division.
9. Diploids: Mitosis produces diploid cells (two sets of chromosomes).
10. Prophase: The first stage of mitosis, where chromatin condenses into chromosomes.
11. Metaphase: Chromosomes line up at the equator of the cell during metaphase.
12. Binary fission: A cell division process for simple organisms like bacteria.
