100

The genetic material that is divided during cell reproduction

What is DNA?

100
A series of events that a cell goes through as it grows and divides.
What is the cell cycle?
100
The process of nuclear division in eukaryotic cells.
What is mitosis?
100
The membrane that forms between two new plant cells during cell division that allows cytokinesis to occur.
What is the cell plate?
100

A cell containing only one set of chromosomes.

What is a haploid cell? OR What is a gamete?

200

One of two identical parts of a duplicated chromosome.

What is a chromatid?

200
The period of growth and development between cell divisions.
What is Interphase?
200
The second phase of mitosis during which chromosomes line up across the center of the cell.
What is metaphase?
200
The division of cytoplasm into 2 new cells.
What is cytokinesis?
200
The process by which homologous chromosomes exchange equal segments of genetic material during meiosis.
What is crossing over?
300

The rod-shaped structure found in eukaryotic cells during cell division that is made of replicated DNA and proteins.

What is a Chromosome?

300
The period in Interphase when the DNA is copied or synthesized.
What is the S phase?
300
The first phase of mitosis during which chromatin condenses into chromosomes.
What is prophase?
300
Cell division that results in 4 haploid cells.
What is meiosis?
300
The phase in meiosis during which homologous chromosomes separate and move to opposite ends of the cell.
What is anaphase I?
400

If an organism has 32 chromosomes in each body cell, how many chromosomes would you expect to find in the organism’s gametes?

What is 16

400
The period during Interphase when the cell prepares for and makes cell structures needed for cell division.
What is the G1 phase?
400
The third phase of mitosis during which chromosomes separate and move to opposite ends of the cell.
What is anaphase?
400
A pair of chromosomes that are identical in length, centromere location, and gene locations; one is inherited from each parent.
What are homologous chromosomes?
400
The phase in meiosis during which chromatids separate and move to opposite ends of the cell.
What is anaphase II?
500

An area where two sister chromatids are held together in a chromosome.

What is a centromere?

500
Two small structures made of microtubules that are located in the centrosome, an area above the nucleus, during cell division in animal cells.
What are centrioles?
500
The fourth phase of mitosis during which the nuclear envelope reforms around each new set of chromosomes.
What is telophase?
500
A cell containing 2 sets of chromosomes in which each set is a homologous pair.
What is a diploid cell? What is a somatic cell?
500
The phase of meiosis during which homologous chromosomes exchange genetic material.
What is prophase I?
