Term	Definition
Cell cycle	A cell cycle, or cell-division cycle, is a series of events that takes place in a cell that causes it to divide into two daughter cells.
DNA	Deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) is a molecule composed of two polynucleotide chains that coil around each other to form a double helix carrying genetic instructions for the development, functioning, growth and reproduction of all known organisms.
DNA polymerase	DNA polymerase is a member of a family of enzymes that catalyzes the synthesis of DNA molecules from nucleoside triphosphates, the molecular precursors of DNA.
Eukaryotic cell	An eukaryotic cell contains membrane-bound organelles such as a nucleus, mitochondria, and an endoplasmic reticulum.
Mitosis	Mitosis is part of the cell cycle in which replicated chromosomes are separated into two new nuclei.
RNA Primer	A short piece of RNA.
