Mitosis
The phase in mitosis in which the chromosomes line up in the center of the cell.
What is Metaphase?
Meiosis results in this many daughter cells.
What is four?
The powerhouse of the cell, produces most of the ATP.
What is the Mitochondria?
The physical appearance of an organism.
What is Phenotype?
The enzyme that is responsible for unzipping the double helix structure of DNA.
What is DNA Helicase?
These structures connect to the centromeres to help move chromosomes around during mitosis.
What are Spindle Fibers?
The process where homologous chromosomes exchange genetic material.
What is Crossing Over?
The postal service of the cell, in charge of packaging and delivering proteins.
What is the Golgi Apparatus?
Different versions of genes.
What are Alleles?
What are Okazaki Fragments?
The set of duplicated chromosomes before they are separated during anaphase.
What are Sister Chromatids?
The phase of meiosis that separates the sister chromatids, a lot like mitosis.
What is Meiosis II?
The molecule that makes up the majority of the cell membrane, forms a bilayer.
What are phospholipids?
Known as the father of genetics.
Who is Gregor Mendel?
The enzyme that is responsible for going back to the fragments and sealing them up.
What is DNA Ligase?
The phase of mitosis where spindle fibers form.
What is Prophase?
The two types of cells produced by meiosis in humans.
What are Sperm and Egg Cells?
The jelly like substance that gives the cell structure and surrounds the organelles.
What is the Cytoplasm?
A person with 2 of the same type of allele, dominant or recessive, is said to be this.
What is Homozygous?
The stage of the cell cycle where DNA replication occurs.
What is S Phase?
The region where chromosomes are most tightly connected.
What is the Centromere?
The process where homologous chromosomes fail to separate properly.
What is nondisjunction?
What is the Cell Membrane?
Used in genetic testing to predict the outcome of allele variants.
What are Punnett Squares?
The enzyme that creates new DNA by adding complementary nucleotides.
What is DNA Polymerase?
