Cell Cycle
What is the final phase of the cell cycle?
cytokinesis
what is cell division?
process by which a cell divides into 2 new cells
What is Meiosis?
a type of cell division that results in four daughter cells each with half the number of chromosomes of the parent cell, as in the production of gametes and plant spores.
What is DNA replication?
Chromosome copies divide and move apart.
what is the interphase?
period of cell growth and development
what is mitosis?
division of the nucleus into 2 nuclei , each with the same number of chromosomes
What does Meiosis make?
Meiosis makes Gametes
how many stages are in mitosis list them.
there are 4 phases in mitosis
prophase
metaphase
anaphase
telophase
What is telophase?
Chromosomes uncoil back into chromatin.
what is the cell cycle?
series of events cells go through as they grow and divide
when does your body use mitosis?
growth and repair
What is a cell that has 2 of each kind of chromosome called?
Diploid Cell
what happens during metaphase?
the chromosomes are pulled to the middle of the cell
What is the Organ System?
An organ system is a biological system consisting of a group of organs that work together to perform one or more functions.
The cell cycle is not the time of growth and division?
True or False
Fasle
what is cytokinesis?
the division of the rest of the cell after the nucleus divides
What is the reassortment of genetic information called?
Genetic Recombination
what are the results when mitosis is complete?
there are 2 daughter cells are formed
define chromosome?
a structure found in the nucleus
What is the first phase of the cell cycle

What are the phases of Meiosis 1 in order?
Prophase 1, Metaphase 1, Anaphase 1, Telophase 1
what is anaphase used for in mitosis
the sister chromatids are pulled apart.
Define a sister chromatid?
one of the two identical halves of a chromosome that has been replicated in preparation for cell division.
