Mitosis
The cycle of nuclear division resulting in 2 identical "daughter" cells to the "parent" cell.
What is mitosis?
23 of these are in gametes.
What are the number of chromosomes in cells produced through meiosis?
The nickname for this molecule is the "hereditary molecule"
What is DNA?
Photosynthesis and cellular respiration are examples of this life function.
What is metabolic processes?
This is the name of an organism which formed when a sperm fertilized and egg.
What is a zygote?
The term for the number of chromosomes in a cell after mitosis.
What is diploid?
Hereditary and Evolution
What are 2 life functions that meiosis provides evidence of occurring in prokaryotic cells?
The set of 2 chromosomes (one from each parent) which are similar in size, shape and genetic information.
What is homologous chromosomes?
Crossing over in the first stage of meiosis results in diversity to this life function.
What is heredity?
The is the specific paring that occurs between Adenine, Cytosine, Thymine, and Guanine in DNA.
What is A with T and C with G?
Chromosomes line up and divide in this formation in the middle of the cell during mitosis.
What is horizontal?
This happens twice in meiosis.
What is number of cell divisions that occurs in meiosis?
This forms during cytokinesis in plant cells and develops into a cell wall.
What is a cell plate?
This life function is demonstrated by the examples of binary fission in some organisms or formation of gametes in others.
What is reproduction?
This is the name for the photo of the chromosomes in a cell.
What is a karotype?
46 of these are in this type of cell.
What is the number of chromosomes in a human diploid cell?
The number of viable eggs produced in meiosis.
What is 1?
The process that results when 2 homologous chromosomes switch genetic information and it provides diversity for inherited traits.
What is crossing over?
This life function is the ability of an organism to maintain "balance".
What is homeostasis?
This condition is the result of having an additional chromosome (3 of the same number of a specific chromosome).
What is Trisomy (Trisomy 21 or Down Syndrome)?
There are 4 of these in mitosis and 8 in meiosis.
How many stages are there of mitosis?
4 of these are produced by the process of meiosis
The number of germ/gamete sperm or egg cells produced through meiosis.
The name of a segment of DNA that codes for a specific protein, RNA molecule or allele.
This word describes chromosomes which are not involved in determining the gender of an individual.
What are autosomes?
