Mitosis
The process that results in new cells with genetic material that is identical to the original cell
Mitosis
The process by which the chromosome number is halved.
Meiosis
What do you call the product of mitosis where the cell have two sets of chromosomes.
Diploid
The longest phase of the cell cycle
Interphase
Phase in Mitosis where spindle fibres from opposing centrosomes connect to bivalents (at centromeres) and align them along the middle of the cell
Metaphase I
The number of phases in mitosis.
Four
The number of cycles that meiosis goes through.
Two
Phase in Mitosis where spindle fibers attached to kinetochores shorten and pull chromatids towards the poles.
What is purpose of the cell cycle?
The synthesis of new organelles and the copying of DNA
Phase in Meiosis where chromosomes condense, nuclear membrane dissolves, centrosomes move to opposite poles (perpendicular to before)
Prophase II
The longest phase in mitosis where chromosomes condense
Prophase
The swapping of genetic material that occurs in the germ line
Crossing over
A nuclear membrane forms around each set of chromosomes to separate the nuclear DNA from the cytoplasm.
Telophase
Name the three phases of Interphase.
Gap 1, S phase, and Gap 2
Phase in Meiosis where spindle fibres contract and split the bivalent, homologous chromosomes move to opposite poles of the cell
Anaphase I
The purpose/ function of mitosis
Replacement of damaged cells or growth
How many phases are there in Meiosis?
8 phases
The name of reproductive cells
Gametes
The name of the phase where DNA is copied
S/Synthesis phase
Phase in Meiosis where chromosomes decondense, nuclear membrane reforms, cells divide (cytokinesis) to form four haploid daughter cells
Telophase II
What do you call the end results/products of Mitosis?
Two identical daughter cells
What do you call the end results/products of Meiosis?
Four haploid daughter cells
One of the phases in Mitosis where chromosomes are align along the equator of the cell, with one chromatid facing each pole.
Metaphase
The phase in interphase where cell grows in size and organelles replicated
G1 or Gap 1 phase
What do you call the phase of meiosis where crossing over occurs?
Prophase I
