100

Nucleus breaks down; chromosomes condense; centrioles move away; spindle fibers forming

What is Prophase?


100

Nucleus breaks down; spindle fibers form; DNA coils into visible chromosomes (2 pairs form a tetrad (4 chromatids)); crossing over occurs

Tetrads stay in pairs and align in center; spindle fibers attach to kinetochores on individual sister chromatids

What is Prophase I and Metaphase I?

100

The 4 phases

What is G1, S, G2, G0?

100

Made up of two centrioles; function in the formation of spindle fibers

What are centrosomes?

100

Sudden cell death

What is apoptosis?

200

Chromosomes in middle; spindle fibers connect to chromosomes

What is Metaphase?

200

Spindle fibers separate tetrads; grouped sister chromatids are pulled apart

Nucleus reforms; chromosomes stay condensed; each nucleus contains one pair of each chromosome

What is Anaphase I and Telophase I?

200

Cell growth

What is G1?

200

One of the two identical halves of a chromosome

What are chromatids?

200

An indentation that appears in a cell's surface when the cell is in telophase

What is the cleavage furrow?

300

Chromosomes separate; chromatids pulled to opposite sides of the cell

What is Anaphase?

300
Nucleus breaks down again; spindle fibers form; two cells in this division

Sister chromatids align across center of cell; spindle fibers attach to each side of the sister chromatids

What is Prophase II and Metaphase II?

300

DNA replication

What is S?

300

The material that chromosomes are made from; consists of protein, RNA, and DNA

What is chromatin?

300

Containing two complete sets of chromosomes, one from each parent

What is diploid?

400

Nucleus reforms; DNA unwinds; spindle fibers break down; with cytokinesis, results in two daughter cells

What is Telophase?  

400

Spindle fibers pull apart the sister chromatids towards opposite poles

Nucleus reforms, each containing one set of chromosomes; chromosomes uncoil; results in 4 daughter cells

What is Anaphase II and Telophase II?

400

Cell growth after DNA replication

What is G2?

400
Filaments that form the mitotic spindle in cell division

What are spindle fibers?

400

The presence of a single set of chromosomes in an organism's cells

What is haploid?

500

Cytoplasm separates; 2 identical cells form

What is Cytokinesis?

500

The exchange of genes between homologous chromosomes, resulting in a mixture of parental characteristics in offspring

What is crossing over?

500

No cellular division occurs; gap phase

What is G0?

500

The basic unit of life

What are cells?....duh

500

The primary method of reproduction of prokaryotic organisms

What is binary fission?
