Macromolecule containing carbon, hydrogen, oxygen and nitrogen. This important organic molecule is needed for cell growth and repair.
Back
metaphase
Front
the second stage in mitosis in which the duplicated chromosomes line up along the equatorial plate of the spindle.
Back
prophase
Front
first and longest phase of mitosis, during which the chromosomes become visible and the centrioles separate and take up positions on the opposite sides of the nucleus
