Here are short definitions for each term, plus a corrected version of your sentence.

- interphase: The part of the cell cycle when the cell grows, performs normal functions, and duplicates its DNA (chromosomes) in preparation for mitosis.
- mitosis: Nuclear division that separates duplicated chromosomes so each daughter cell gets an identical set of genetic material.
- cytokinesis: The division of the cytoplasm that follows mitosis, producing two separate daughter cells.
- prophase: The first stage of mitosis when chromosomes condense and the mitotic spindle begins to form.
- prometaphase: The stage after prophase when the nuclear envelope breaks down and spindle microtubules attach to chromosomes.
- metaphase: The stage when chromosomes align at the cell’s equatorial (metaphase) plate.
- anaphase: The stage when sister chromatids are pulled apart toward opposite poles.
- telophase: The final mitotic stage when nuclear envelopes re-form around separated chromosome sets and chromosomes begin to decondense.
- chromosome: A DNA molecule packaged with proteins that carries genetic information.
- chromatid: One of the two identical copies of a duplicated chromosome (sister chromatids) joined at the centromere.
- centromere: The constricted region of a chromosome where sister chromatids are held together and where spindle fibers attach.
- centriole: A cylindrical structure in animal cells that helps organize the mitotic spindle.
- genetic: Relating to genes or heredity.

Corrected sentence:
"Mitosis: an exact copy of the cell’s genetic material (its chromosomes) is produced and equally distributed to the two daughter cells."
