Life Cycle of a Cell
The series of events that take place in a cell leading to duplication of its DNA and division of cytoplasm and organelles to produce two daughter cells.
Cell Cycle
What is the first phase of Mitosis?
Prophase
What is the first phase of Meiosis?
Prophase l
What is the control center of a cell?
The Nucleus
A threadlike structure of nucleic acids and protein found in the nucleus of most living cells, carrying genetic information in the form of genes.
Chromosomes
A type of cell division that results in two daughter cells each having the same number and kind of chromosomes
Mitosis
What is the second stage of Mitosis?
Metaphase
What is the second phase of Meiosis?
Metaphase l
The cells of the immune system that are involved in protecting the body against both infectious disease and foreign invaders.
White Blood Cells
A unit of heredity which is transferred from a parent to offspring and is held to determine some characteristic of the offspring.
Genes
A process where a single cell divides twice to produce four cells containing half the original amount of genetic information.
Meiosis
What is the third stage of Mitosis?
Anaphase
What is the third phase of Meiosis?
Anaphase l
The cells that carry oxygen and contains hemoglobin
Red Blood Cells
Deoxyribonucleic acid, a self-replicating material which is present in nearly all living organisms as the main constituent of chromosomes. It is the carrier of genetic information.
DNA
An intermediate phase occupying the time between the end of cell division in mitosis and the beginning of DNA replication during S phase.
G1 phase
what is the fourth phase of Mitosis?
Telophase
What is the fourth phase of Meiosis?
Telophase l
Minute particles consisting of RNA and associated proteins that function to synthesize proteins.
Ribosomes
The genetic constitution of an individual organism.
The phase of the cell cycle in which DNA is replicated, occurring between G1 phase and G2 phase.
S phase
A type of cell division that results in two daughter cells each having the same number and kind of chromosomes
Mitosis
A natural process in which a nucleic acid molecule is broken and then joined to a different molecule
Gene Recombination.
A thin coat of lipids that surrounds a cell.
Cell Membrane.
The set of observable characteristics of an individual resulting from the interaction of its genotype with the environment.
