Cell Cycle
The longest phase of the Cell cycle.
What is Interphase?
This is the chromosome count of both the parent and daughter cells. (D or H)
These are the types of cells created in Meiosis.
What are gametes?
These are examples of somatic cells.
What are skin, bone, muscle, hair, etc. cells?
This is the name of packaged DNA.
What is a chromosome?
This is the order of phases of the cell cycle, following cell division.
What is G1, S, G2, M?
This is the phase of mitosis in which the chromosomes form and the nuclear membrane (envelope) begins breaking down.
This is the final product of meiosis.
What are 4 unique, haploid cells?
These are examples of gametes.
What are sperm and egg cells?
These are the two halves of a chromosome. They are copies of each other.
What are sister chromatids?
This is the phase in which DNA gets duplicated.
What is the S Phase?
This is the type of cell that is created in mitosis.
What are somatic (body) cells?
This is the phase of meiosis where crossing over takes place.
What is Prophase 1?
This is where the genes in cells are either switched on or off, to allow the cell to perform different jobs.
What is cell differentiation/specialization?
This is the form of DNA when it is not preparing for cell division.
What is chromatin?
This is the phase of the cell cycle in which the cell is checked for errors before it is divided.
This is the phase of Mitosis in which the chromatids are pulled away from each other.
What is anaphase?
This is how many PMAT phases take place in meiosis.
What is 2?
This is the chromosome count for parent cells in both Meiosis and Mitosis. (D or H)
In Meiosis, these are the groupings of chromosomes found in Prophase 1.
What is a tetrad/homologous chromosomes?
This makes up the M Phase
What is Mitosis & Cytokinesis?
This is the end result of Mitosis
This is where homologous chromosomes exchange genetic information, creating unique chromatids.
What is crossing over?
This is the chromosome count of haploid cells, compared to diploid cells.
What is half?
This is the structure that holds the two sister chromatids together.
What is the centromere?
