Cell Cycle
first phase of interphase
What is G1
1st phase of mitosis, nucleus disappears, chromosomes form
What is prophase?
occurs during synapsis
What is pairing of homologous chromosomes?
type of cell that has centrioles
What is an animal cell?
the production of offspring from one parent
asexual reproduction
period during which DNA is copied
S phase
chromosomes move to opposite poles
What is anaphase?
Spermatogenesis produces how many sperm cells
random separation of chromosomes that results in genetic recombination
What is idependent assortment?
If an organism has 12 chromosomes in each body cell, how many chromosomes would you expect to find in the organism's gametes
What is 6?
time between cell divisions
Interphase
What does mitosis produce?
What is 2 diploid daughter cells?
Phase where tetrads form
What is prophase I?
Job of kinetochore fibers during mitosis/meiosis
What is move chromosomes?
equally divides an animal cell into two offspring cells
cleavage furrow
type of protein that aids in the packing of DNA in eukaryotic cells
What are histones?
Chromosomes line up in the middle of the cell
What is metaphase?
How does crossing over result in genetic recombination?
Each offspring cell produced by binary fission contains this...
What is an identical copy of the original cell's chromosome?
equally divides chromatids between offspring cells
mitotic spindle
division of the cytoplasm
What is cytokinesis?
Why do cells do mitosis?
What is growth and repair damage?
Why do cells do meiosis?
What is to produce the gametes and for genetic variation?
division of a prokaryotic cell into 2 offspring cells
What is binary fission?
structure not found in animal cells that forms along the midline of a dividing plant cell
What is the cell plate?
