Mitosis
Stage where nucleus is breaking down and chromosomes have condensed
What is Prophase?
Process of creating four genetically unique daughter cells
What is Meiosis?
The life of a cell
What is the cell cycle?
This is the random joining of two gametes (sperm and egg)
What is Fertilization?
Form of reproduction that requires only one parent
What is asexual reproduction?
Stage where chromosomes randomly line up in the middle of the cell
What is Metaphase?
The number of rounds of cell division in meiosis
What is two rounds of division?
Phase of the cycle where cells function normally
What is G1?
This is a change in the sequence of DNA nucleotide bases
What is a mutation?
Form of reproduction that requires two parents
What is sexual reproduction?
Stage where sister chromatids are moving away from each other to opposite ends of the cell
What is Anaphase?
Term used to describe a cell with a full set of chromosomes
What is Diploid (2n)?
DNA replication occurs during this phase of the cell cycle
What is S (Synthesis) phase?
Situation where sister chromatids swap a section of alleles/genes
What is Crossing-Over?
This form of sexual reproduction is quick
What is asexual reproduction?
Stage where cleavage furrow is visible in animal cells, and a cell plate has formed in plant cells
What is Telophase?
Term used to describe cells with only half of the chromosomes
What is Haploid?
Term used to describe G1, S, and G2 together
What is Interphase?
Order in which chromosomes arrange themselves during meiosis
What is Random (Independent) Assortment?
One of the benefits of sexual reproduction
What is genetic variation?
Stage where cells are separated into two cells
What is Cytokinesis?
Type of cell that is created by meiosis
What are gametes (sperm and egg cells)?
Process of creating two identical daughter cells
What is Mitosis?
Situation where chromosomes do not separate correctly
What is nondisjunction?
These are the 5 types of asexual reproduction
What is budding, sporulation, binary fission, vegetative propagation, and regeneration?
