What is meiosis?

What is diploid cells?

100

the rest period between cell cycles - in Mitosis

What is interphase?

100
the phase when the chromosomes line up in the middle of the cell
What is metaphase?
200
The number of phases in mitosis.
What is four?
200
The number of cycles that meiosis goes through.
What is two?
200
This is attached to the spindle fibers that appears in prophase.
What are centrioles?
200

Structures that become tightly packed during cell division. They contain DNA.

What do chromosomes do during Prophase?

200
the phase when chromosomes pull apart toward the poles
What is anaphase?

what is PMAT (Polly's Mom Ate Tacos)?

300
The process in meiosis that ensures more genetic variation
What is crossing over?
300
The part of the chromosome that the spindle fiber attaches to.
What is a centromere?
300

Cell division that creates four haploid cells.

What is Meoisis?

300
the phase where chromosomes reach the poles and begin to uncoil
What is telophase?
400
The place in the body where Mitosis Takes Place

Where is Everywhere, except in testes and ovaries (Somatic cells only)?

400
The phase of meiosis where crossing over occurs?
What is prophase?
400

the name of reproductive cells

What are germ cells?

400

During this phase, the cells begin with two daughter cells.

What is Meiosis II?

400
the phase where the cytoplasm pinches off
What is cytokinesis?
500
The purpose of mitosis
What is the replacement of damaged cells or growth?
500
Name of the rest period between the phases

What is Cytokinesis?

500

Name the term for normal body cells.

What are somatic cells?

500

Stage in mitosis where chromosomes replicate themselves

Prophase

500
the phase where chromosomes become visible
What is prophase?
