The process that results in new cells with genetic material that is identical to the original cell
What is mitosis
The process by which the chromosome number is divided into 4 daughter cells.
What is meiosis?
These are the structures that contain coiled up DNA
What are chromosomes?
This is the phase where the cell does most of its resting
What is interphase?
the phase when the chromosomes line up in pairs in the middle of the cell
What is metaphase 1?
The number of phases in mitosis.
What is six?
The number of cycles that meiosis goes through.
What is two?
In an animal cell, the centrioles create these lasso-like structures
What are spindle fibers?
The division process that liver cells use to repair themselves.
What is mitosis?
the phase when chromosomes start to 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 cell that breaks down during prophase
What is the nuclear membrane (nucleus)?
This is the name of a singular chromosome.
What is a chromatid
the phase where chromosomes reach the poles and begin to uncoil
What is telophase/cytokinesis?
This is the location in your body where mitosis takes place
What are your somatic cells (or body cells)?
The phase of meiosis where crossing over occurs?
What is prophase 1?
the name of reproductive cells
What are gametes?
This is the name of uncoiled DNA
What is chromatin
the phase where the cytoplasm completely separates
What is cytokinesis?
When would your body need to use mitosis?
What is for the replacement of damaged cells or growth?
This is the phase of meiosis when the cell is starting to split, but is still connected. The cells have 46 chromosomes in total.
What is a telophase 1?
The scientific term for "body cells"
What are somatic cells?
This is the number of chromosomes present in a cell while undergoing metaphase 2 of meiosis
What is 46
the phase where chromosomes become visible
What is prophase?
