What's in my cells
A package of DNA containing all of the genetic material in an organism
What is a Chromosome?
This phase of mitosis is when all of the chromosomes are lined up in the middle of the cell
What is Metaphase?
A type of cell division that results in two identical daughter cells
What is mitosis?
Mitosis is a type of _____________ Reproduction
What is Asexual Reproduction?
The smallest structural and functional unit of an organism is a/an
What is a cell?
Area where the DNA and chromosomes are found in the cell
What is the nucleus?
The 4th stage of mitosis, where the cell starts to cleave and two new nuclear envelopes begin to form
What is Telophase?
A type of cell division that results in four unique daughter cells
What is Meiosis?
Meiosis is a type of cell division only for germ cells. Mitosis is used for ________ cells
What is Somatic?
A genetic code in our bodies, it's what makes me, me and you, you
What is DNA?

What is a chromatid?
Humans have _____ pairs of chromosomes
What is 23?
Mr. Crennen's favorite sweet treat
What is an Oreo?
These organelles are responsible for pulling chromatids towards opposite ends of the cell, they appear during prophase
What are centrosomes/centrioles?
In this phase of Meiosis the chromosomes can cross over and share genetic information between the parents.
What is Prophase 1
What is a germ cell?
The process where homologous chromosomes exchange genetic material. It is the reason why you are not an exact copy of either or your parents!
What is crossing over?
stored energy that depends upon the relative position of various parts of a system
What is potential energy?
Sort of like spider webs, these parts of the cell attach to chromosomes and pull chromatids apart. Only really seen during metaphase and anaphase
What are Spindle fibers
The resting phase between Meiosis 1 and Meiosis 2 resulting in two unique daughter cells
What is Interkinesis?
When a cell has the full amount of chromosomes
What is diploid?
This is the resting phase of the cell cycle. Your cells are in this phase unless you get a cut.
What is Interphase?
