Phases
second phase of mitosis, during which the chromosomes line up across the center of the cell
What is metaphase?
an organism or cell having two sets of chromosomes or twice the haploid number
What is diploid?
period of the cell cycle between cell divisions
What is interphase?
A reproductive process that involves two parents that combine their genetic material to produce a new organism, which differs from both parents
What is sexual reproduction?
Cell division that produces reproductive cells in sexually reproducing organisms
What is meiosis?
the third phase of mitosis, during which the chromosome pairs separate and move toward opposite poles
What is anaphase?
an organism or cell having only one complete set of chromosomes
What is haploid?
division of the cytoplasm to form two separate daughter cells
What is cytokinesis?
Chromosomes that have the same sequence of genes and the same structure
What is homologous chromosomes?
the action of dividing or splitting something into two or more parts.
What is fission?
first and longest phase of mitosis, during which the chromosomes become visible and the centrioles separate and take up positions on the opposite sides of the nucleus
What is prophase?
Area where the chromatids of a chromosome are attached
What is centromere?
cell division in which the nucleus divides into nuclei containing the same number of chromosomes
What is mitosis?
specialized cell involved in sexual reproduction
What is gamete?
A reproductive process that involves only one parent and produces offspring that are identical to the parent
What is asexual reproduction?
After the chromosome seperates, the cell seals off, Final Phase of Mitosis.
What is telophase?
The cells that are produced as a result of mitosis. These cells are identical to each other, and also to the original parent cell.
What is daughter cell?
series of events that cells go through as they grow and divide
What is cell cycle?
a diploid cell resulting from the fusion of two haploid gametes; a fertilized ovum.
What is zygote?
structure that contains identical DNA copies and is formed during DNA replication
What is sister chromatid?
