The Cell Cycle
What is interphase?
The amount of energy the cell requires to go through the process of mitosis.
What is a lot of energy?
The cells within our bodies such as muscle cells, skin cells, etc.
What are somatic cells?
The cells that have to do with reproduction are also known as this.
What are gametes?
The set of genes in our DNA that is responsible for a particular trait.
What is a genotype?
The first part of interphase that growth occurs in.
What is G1?
The site at which sister chromatids are attached, as well as the site of attachment for the spindle fiber during mitosis.
What is the centromere?
What is telophase?
The site at which crossing over occurs.
What is chiasma?
The physical expression of a set of genes.
What is a phenotype?
The second part of interphase that growth occurs in.
What is G2?
The phase of mitosis in which the sister chromatids are separated and begin to be pulled towards opposite poles of the cell.
What is anaphase?
The phase of mitosis in which the nuclear envelope separates, and the chromosomes condense and become visible.
What is prophase?
Reductional division is also known as this.
What is meiosis I?
In meiosis within the uterus, this is the end product.
What is one egg and two to three polar bodies.
The part of the cell cycle in which the cytoplasm is separated and two daughter cells are created.
What is cytokinesis?
A cell that contains two sets of chromosomes.
What is a diploid cell?
The phase of mitosis in which the chromosomes become lined up in the center of the cell.
What is metaphase?
A cell in an ovary which may undergo meiotic division to form an ovum, AKA an egg.
What is an oocyte?
Example: BB or AA
What is homozygous?
The part of interphase in which DNA replication occurs.
What is the S phase?
The end goal/product of mitosis.
What are two identical daughter cells?
The phase of mitosis in which the kinetochores appear and become attached to the spindle fibers.
What is prometaphase?
The stage in which crossing over occurs.
What is prophase I?
The number and visual appearance of the chromosomes in the cell nuclei of an organism.
What is a karyotype?
