Mitosis
The process by which the chromosome number is halved.
What is meiosis?
The end product of mitosis is the cell having two sets of chromosomes.
What is diploid?
the longest phase of the cell cycle
What is interphase?
the phase when the chromosomes line up in the middle of the cell
What is metaphase?
The number of divisions that meiosis goes through.
What is two?
This is where the spindle fibers that appears in prophase are generated from.
What are centrioles?
Where do new cells come from?
Preexisting cells or parent cells
the phase when chromosomes pull apart toward the poles
What is anaphase?
the phase in mitosis where chromosomes condense
what is prophase?
The process in meiosis that ensures more genetic variation
What is crossing over?
The part of the chromosome that the spindle fiber attaches to.
What is a centromere?
Name the three phases of Interphase.
What are G1, S, and G2?
the phase where chromosomes reach the poles and begin to uncoil
What is telophase?
This is the location in your body where mitosis takes place
What is your body cells or somatic cells?
The phase of meiosis where crossing over occurs?
What is prophase?
the name of reproductive cells
What are gametes?
the name of the phase where DNA is copied
What is the S phase of interphase?
the phase where the cytoplasm pinches off
What is cytokinesis?
The purpose of mitosis
What is the replacement of damaged cells or growth?
The things that line up in the middle of the cell in metaphase I.
What is a tetrad/homologous pair?
Name the term for the cells of normal body cells.
What are somatic cells?
The phase in interphase where DNA is replicated.
What is S phase?
the phase where chromosomes become visible
