Solution

  1. Metaphase and Anaphase are stages of Mitosis.
  2. Mitosis is that step in the cell cycle where the newly formed DNA is separated and two new cells are formed with the same number and kind of chromosomes as the parent nucleus.
  3. The process through which cells multiply and divide into two new cells is known as the cell cycle.
  4. A chromatid is one of a chromosome's two identical halves.
  5. Chromosomes are thick rod-like structures that contain genes and are found in the nucleus.
  6. The centromere connects the two chromatids of each chromosome.
