Cell Cycle
The final output of mitosis (be specific!)
What are 2 diploid daughter cells?
The stage of the Cell Cycle immediately following Mitosis
What is G1
The stage of cell cycle during which the DNA is copied or replicated.
What is S-phase?
Metaphase is identified by this behavior of the chromosomes
What is lining-up along the equator of the cell
A features of meiosis resulting in mixing and matching of genetic material
What is crossing-over of the chromosomes?
The stage of the cell cycle that non-dividing cells stay in
What is G0
The scientific term for a diploid cell that enables normal body function
What is a somatic cell?
Sequence of cell cycle stages that make up interphase
What is G1-S-G2
Three reasons a cell might undergo mitosis
What are growth, replacement, and repair?
Total number of diploid cells at the end of Meiosis
What is zero?
The percentage of time a cell in G0 spends in Interphase
What is 100%?
The structure formed by homologous chromosomes during synapsis in prophase I
What is a tetrad?
The structure formed during cytokinesis in plants between the two new daughter cells
What is the cell plate?
Medical term for cancer cells that have traveled from their original location or organ
What is metastasis?
A distinction between Metaphase II of meiosis and Metaphase of Mitosis
Twice the number of chromosomes line up in metaphase of mitosis as in metaphase II of meiosis.
This happens to the number of chromosomes after first round of division in Meiosis
What is reduction (by half)?
