Mitosis
This term is used to describe the ploidy of the two genetically identical daughter cells created during mitosis.
What is diploid?
A period of nondividing during the cell cycle.
What is interphase?
Meiosis creates cells that have half of the number of chromosomes as the parent cell. In humans, what is this number?
What is 23?
These types of cells go through mitosis to produce exact copies of the original cell. This term is also used to describe body cells.
What are stomatic cells?
This type of cell division produces 2 genetically identical daughter cells.
What is mitosis?
This phase of mitosis involves the pulling apart of sister chromatids by kinetochore microtubules.
What is anaphase?
What are G1 and G2?
Crossing over occurs during this part of Meiosis
This term is used to describe two identical copies of the same chromosome that are connected by a centromere.
What are sister chromatids?
This type of cell division increases genetic diversity among organisms.
What is meiosis?
During this phase of mitosis, chromosomes are aligned at the center of the cell by microtubules.
What is metaphase?
This checkpoint makes sure DNA is replicated completely before mitosis occurs.
What is the G2 checkpoint?
Separation of sister chromatids happens during this round of meiosis (Meiosis I or Meiosis II?)
What is Meiosis II?
This term is used to describe a pair of chromosomes that each control for the same trait. One is from the mother, one is from the father.
What is homologous?
During this process, 4 genetically different haploid cells are produced.
What is meiosis?
This portion of the M phase occurs when cytoplasm of the duplicated cells is divided.
What is cytokinesis?
This checkpoint makes sure chromosomes are aligned correctly on the mitotic spindle.
What is the M checkpoint?
This process is described by the switching of certain sections on a chromosome during Prophase I to increase genetic diversity.
What is crossing over?
The place of attachment for microtubules on chromatids
What are kinetochores?
During this process, the parent cell and the daughter cells have the same number of chromosomes.
What is mitosis?
Name the 6 stages of Mitosis in order (including interphase).
Interphase, Prophase, Prometaphase, metaphase, anaphase, telophase
DNA duplication ONLY occurs during this subphase.
What is S (synthesis) Phase?
Meiosis leads to the production of 4 genetically distinct haploid cells called...?
What are gametes?
This term is used to describe the long fiber chromosomes are in when they are not dividing.
What is chromatin?
This type of cell division takes place in two parts.
What is meiosis?
