Cell Cycle
This is the longest phase in the cell cycle
What is Interphase?
Mitosis results in ____ (#) genetically ______ cells
What is ... 2 ... identical?
Meiosis results in ____ (#) genetically _____ cells
What is 4 ... identical?
This is the single cell formed at fertilization
What is a zygote?
During this phase of the cell cycle, chromosomes are decondensed as chromatin, and cell is “doing its job”
What is interphase?
DNA is replicated during this phase of the cell cycle
What is S phase of interphase?
During cytokinesis, this structure forms in plant cells
What is a cell plate?
The condition of having 1 copy of every chromosome
What is haploid?
This type of cell division is used to repair an injury.
What is mitosis?
The condition of having 2 copies of every chromosome
What is diploid?
During this stage of mitosis chromatin condenses into visible chromosomes.
What is prophase/prometaphase?
These are pairs of chromosomes that are the same size and shape and carry genes for the same traits, inherited one from each parent.
What are homologous chromosomes?
This is the division of the cytoplasm
What is cytokinesis?
Cells enter this phase if they never divide, or if their DNA is damaged and needs to be repaired
What is G0 of interphase
Spindle fibers originate from these organelles
What are centrosomes / centrioles?
After meiosis, the resulting gametes have _____ the number of chromosomes as the parent cell.
What is half?
This type of cell division is used to produce gametes
What is meiosis?
These are identical copies of a chromosome resulting from DNA replication.
What are sister chromatids?
This structure forms in animal cells during cytokinesis
What is a cleavage furrow?
During this division of Meiosis the cell is reduced from diploid to haploid.
What is Meiosis I?
This is and ordered array of chromosomes used to display all the homologous pairs
What is a karyotype?
