Wild Card
100
Half of a chromosome
What is a chromatid?
100
Results in new cells with genetic material that is identical to the original cell.
What is mitosis?
100
The first phase of mitosis.
What is prophase?
100
A cell that contains one set of chromosomes.
What is haploid?
100
Production of sperm cells.
What is spermatogenesis?
200
Attachment point of two chromatids
What is a centromere?
200
The production of offspring from one parent.
What is asexual reproduction?
200
The cell grows and carries out routine functions.
What is G1 phase?
200
Phase of meiosis during which crossing-over occurs.
What is Prophase I?
200
Production of egg cells.
What is oogenesis?
300
Chromosomes that are similar in shape and size and have similar genetic information
What are homologous chromosomes?
300
Equally divides an animal cell into two offspring cells
What is the cleavage furrow or cytokinesis?
300
The phase of mitosis during which chromosomes move to opposite poles.
What is anaphase?
300
A cell that contains two sets of chromosomes.
What is diploid?
300
Vesicles joined together at the midline. Cell wall forms dividing the plant cell.
What is a cell plate?
400
Proteins that help coil and package DNA into a very small volume.
What are histones?
400
Repeating set of events in the life of a cell.
What is the cell cycle?
400
The period in the cell cycle during which DNA is copied.
What is S phase?
400
Two pairs of homologous chromosomes.
What is a tetrad?
400
Made of microtubules. They attach to centromeres and pull chromatids apart to opposite poles.
What are spindle fibers?
500
Less tightly coiled DNA-protein complex
What is chromatin?
500
The time between cell divisions.
What is interphase?
500
Uncontrolled growth of cells.
What is cancer?
500
Portions of chromatids may break off and attach to adjacent chromatids on homologous chromosomes.
What is crossing-over?
500
The result of crossing-over. A new mixture of genetic material is created.
What is genetic recombination?
