spindle fibers from centrioles attach to each chromosome
what is metaphase
a type of cell division that results in two daughter cells each with half the number of the parent cell, as in the production of gametes and plant spores.
what is meiosis
lack a nucleus
have a single chromosome
reproduce by binary fission
include bacteria
what is prokaryotes
What is Meiosis
DNA coils tightly & becomes visible as chromosomes
nuclear membrane disappears
nucleolus dsaappears
centrioles migrate to poles
spindle begins to form
what is prophase
a type of cell division that results in two daughter cells each having the same number and kind of chromosomes as the parent nucleus, typical of ordinary tissue growth.
what is mitosis
Used by bacteria
Cells increase their cell mass slightly
DNA & cell components are replicated
Each cell divides into 2 daughter cells
what is steps in binary fission
cell chromosomes are separated
spindle fibers shorten so chromosomes pulled to ends of cell
what is anaphase
cell plants forming in plant cells
what is cytokinesis
Stages in growth & division
G1 Phase
S Phase
G2 Phase
M Phase
Cytokinesis
what is cell cycle
separation of chromosomes completed
cell plate forms (plants)
cleavage furrow forms (animals)
nucleus & nucleolus reform
chromosomes uncoil
what is telophase
contain a nucleus & membrane bound organelles
asexually reproduce cells by mitosis
what is eukaryotes
first growth stage
cell increases in size
cell prepares to copy its DNA
what is G1 phase
bonus question
when were turkeys worshiped as gods
when is 300 B.C
While the turkey is currently America's favorite part of the Thanksgiving meal, in 300 B.C. these big birds were heralded by the Mayan people as vessels of the gods and were honored as such
prokaryotes bacteria
eukaryotes plants animals
what is cell reproduction
copying of all DNA's instruction
chromosomes duplicated
what is synthesis phase
