Mitosis
The process that results in new cells with genetic material that is identical to the original cell
Mitosis
The process by which the chromosome number is halved.
Meiosis
The end product of mitosis is the cell having TWO sets of chromosomes.
Diploid
Organelle that synthetise proteins
Ribosome
The whole set of chromosomes in a cell of an organisms
Karyotype
The number of phases in mitosis (ONLY strictly Mitosis).
Four
The number of cycles that meiosis goes through.
Two
Organelle where the spindle fibers that appears in prophase.
Centrioles
Organelle that have ribosomes attached
Rough ER
Each of the exact copies of the same chromosome
Sister chromatids
the longest phase in mitosis where chromosomes condense
Prophase
The process in meiosis that ensures more genetic variation
Crossing over
The part of the chromosome that the spindle fiber attaches to.
Centromere
Organelle that eliminate intracellular waste
Lysosome
the phase where chromosomes reach the poles and begin to uncoil
Telophase
Type of cells where mitosis takes place
Autosomes
The phase of meiosis where crossing over occurs
Prophase I
the name of reproductive cells
Gamets
Two organelles that contain DNA and ribosomes
Mitochondria and Chloropast
Set of chromosomes with the same information from both parents
Homologous chromosomes
The purpose of mitosis
Replacement of damaged cells or growth
Phase where DNA is NOT duplicated
Interphase II
Cytokinesis in plants
phragmotplast
Theory that explain the origin of Eukariotic cells
Endosymbiotic theory
Chromosome that only have one arm visible
Telocentric
