1. Organ system - a group of organsworking together to perform certainfunctions

2. Prophase - a phase of mitosis afterinterphase during which chromosomesthicken, centrioles move to oppositeends of the cell, spindle fibers form andthe nuclear membrane breaks apart

3. Protein - large organic molecules thatare made of carbon, oxygen, hydrogen,nitrogen, and sometimes sulfur; proteinsand lipids are the key components of cellmembranes

4. Protein synthesis - the process ofreading mRNA to produce a very specificprotein

5. Replication - a process when the cellmakes a copy of its DNA in the nucleus

6. Ribosomes - the organelles thatproduce proteins needed by the cell

7. Sex cells - reproductive cell (eggs orsperm) which contain half the number ofchromosomes of body cells; spermproduced in the testes by males, andeggs produced in the ovaries by females

8. Spindle fibers - threadlike fibers thatform during prophase and attach tochromosomes at the centromere to pullthem apart during cell division
