Mitosis
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 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 phases in mitosis
What is five?
The number of cycles that meiosis goes through
What is two?
Identical copies of the chromosome that are attached by the centromere
What are sister chromatids?
The second stage in the cell cycle where the contents of the nucleus are divided
What is mitosis?
The phase when chromosomes pull apart toward the poles
What is anaphase?
The longest 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 fibre attaches to
What is a centromere?
The three phases of interphase
What are G1, S, and G2?
The phase where chromosomes reach the poles and begin to uncoil with nuclear membranes beginning to form around each set of chromosomes
What is telophase?
This is the location in your body where mitosis takes place
What is your body cells?
How many cells result from meiosis II?
What is four?
The term for reproductive cells
What are gametes?
The phase where the result is two cells form
What is cytokinesis?
The phase where the cytoplasm pinches off and the cell completes the cell cycle
What is cytokinesis?
The purpose of mitosis
What is the replacement of damaged cells or growth?
This is stage between meiosis I and meiosis II?
What is a interkinesis?
The structure that forms in plants cells to divide the two cells in cytokinesis?
What is the cell plate?
The phase where DNA is replicated
What is the S phase (synthesis) of interphase?
The phase where chromosomes become visible
What is prophase?
