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 period of growth and development between cell divisions.
What is Interphase?
100

A cell containing only one set of chromosomes.

What is a haploid cell?

100

Two small structures made of microtubules where the spindle fibers originate from during cell division.

What are centrioles?

200
A pair of chromosomes that are identical in length, centromere location, and gene locations; one is inherited from each parent.
What are homologous chromosomes?
200
The division of cytoplasm into 2 new cells.
What is cytokinesis?
200

The  phase of mitosis during which chromosomes line up across the middle of the cell.

What is metaphase?

200

A cell containing 2 sets of chromosomes in which each set is a homologous pair.

What is a diploid cell?

200
The process by which homologous chromosomes exchange equal segments of genetic material during meiosis.
What is crossing over?
300

The X-shaped structure found in eukaryotic cells during cell division that is made of condensed, replicated DNA.

What is a Chromosome?

300
The period in Interphase when the DNA is copied or synthesized.
What is the S phase?
300

The phase of mitosis during which chromatin condenses into chromosomes and the nuclear membrane disintegrates.

What is prophase?

300

Cell division that results in 4 haploid cells via two divisions.

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
One of two identical parts of a duplicated chromosome.
What is a chromatid?
400

The period during Interphase when the cell prepares for and makes cell structures needed for cell division.

What is the G2 phase?

400

The phase of mitosis during which sister chromatids separate and move to opposite ends of the cell.

What is anaphase?

400

Gametes is the term used to describe these two types of cells.

What are sperm and egg cells?

400

The phase in meiosis during which sister 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

This is the process of nuclear division in eukaryotic cells that creates two new identical cells.

What is mitosis?

500

The phase of mitosis during which the nuclear membrane reforms around each new set of chromosomes.

What is telophase?

500

The phase of meiosis during which homologous chromosomes exchange genetic material.

What is prophase I?

500

How can a karyotype be used to identify chromosomal abnormalities?

Identifying extra or missing chromosomes.
