Cell Cycle
In this phase a cell will copy its DNA.
What is Synthesis or S Phase.
This is the name of the cell that is formed when a sperm penetrates an egg cell and their nuclei fuse.
What is a zygote.
This cell type undergoes mitosis.
During this phase does crossing over occurs.
What is prophase 1?
The term for the division of the cytoplasm following nuclear division.
What is cytokenisis?
The longest part of the cell cycle when cells are performing normal functions is called this.
What is interphase?
The process when a cell becomes programmed to self-destruct.
What is apoptosis?
In this phase, the spindle fibers retract, pulling the chromatids apart.
What is anaphase?
The name of the daughter cells produced in meiosis.
What are gametes?
The process when a cell divides into two identical daughter cells.
What is mitosis?
A cell that has errors in the cell cycle or ignores signals to stop dividing or to perform apoptosis may form this.
What is cancer?
A human zygote has ___ number of chromosomes.
What is 2n or 46.
This occurs after telophase when the cell divides the cytoplasm and other organelles.
What is cytokinesis.
This is the phase in which crossing over occurs.
What is prophase 1
The name for the structures that hold the sister chromatids together during cell division.
What are centromeres?
A cell may enter this resting phase where it is not dividing.
What is G0.
This process occurs just after fertilization to create new cells.
What is mitosis?
The ______ cells from mitosis are genetically identical as compared to the parent cell.
What are daughter cells?
This is the term for the random arrangement and separation of chromosomes during meiosis.
What is independent assortment?
The process when a diploid cell divides to produce four haploid daughter cells.
What is meiosis?
Before the cell will enter mitosis, the cell performs these to look for errors.
What are checkpoints?
The name for unspecialized cells.
What are stem cells?
This is the first phase of mitosis where chromosomes condense and the nuclear envelope disappears
What is prophase?
This is a result of independent assortment in meiosis.
What is genetic variation?
The phase of the cell cycle where DNA replication occurs.
What is the S phase?
