Mitosis vocab review

Mitosis Vacab

Below is a diagram listing most of the important vocabulary words we have learned so far. Many of these words begin with the letter "c" and/or sound very similar to one another. To be successful in this unit it is essential that you can identify these words (in a cell diagram) and define these words.

Match the vocabulary word with its definition AND the image that it best describes. HINT: Each vocabulary word will have one definition and one picture. There are no repeats!

String-like structures called microtubules that help move and seperate the chromosomes during mitosis
