The Life Cycle of a Cell
The series of events that parcel out the replicated DNA of the mother cell to two daughter cells
Mitosis
What are the four phases of mitosis.
Prophase, Metaphase, Anaphase, Telophase
The outside boundary of a cell that controls what enters and leaves the cell?
Cell Membrane
When does crossing over occur?
Prophase 1
What is the study of heredity?
Genetics
Division of cytoplasm, begins during late anaphase and continues through telophase.
Cytokinesis
What purposes do cells use mitosis for?
Growth and Reproduction.
The cell's control center?
Nucleus
When does DNA replication take place?
Interphase
What is a genotype with two different alleles?
A hybrid
Process by which cells develop different characteristics in structure and functions
Differentiation
What is needed for mitosis?
Replication
Cell that contains all the organelles?
Cytoplasm
How many cell divisions are there in meiosis?
Two cell divisions
What is a specialized cell involved in sexual reproduction?
Gamete
What is it called when chromosomes uncondensed back to chromatin
Telophase
What is condensed genetic material called?
Chromatids
This produces most of the energy cell needs to function.
Mitochondria
What are centromeres?
They hold together the chromosome
A chart that shows all the possible combinations for a genetic cross.
Punnett Square
What events occur in cell division?
Mitosis and Cytokinesis
What structure guides the movement of chromosomes?
Spindle Fibers
This organelle makes protein.
Ribosomes
In prophase 2 each cell is what?
A haploid cell
This trait shows what the organism looks like.
