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
Define diploid
46 chromosomes
What is interphase?
the longest phase of the cell cycle, before mitosis
What is metaphase?
the phase when the chromosomes line up in the middle of the cell
The number of phases in mitosis.
4
The number of cycles that meiosis goes through.
2
Define haploid.
23 chromosomes
What is purpose of the cell cycle?
The synthesis of new organelles and the copying of DNA
What is anaphase?
the phase when chromosomes pull apart toward the poles
the longest phase in mitosis where chromosomes condense
prophase
The process in meiosis that ensures more genetic variation
crossing over
Mitosis produces what type of cells?
Body cells (autosomes)
Name the three phases of Interphase.
G1, S, and G2
What is telophase?
the phase where chromosomes reach the poles and begin to uncoil
This is the location in your body where mitosis takes place
body cells or autosomes
How many chromosomes do the daughter cells have?
23
What are reproductive cells?
gametes, sperm & ovaries
What is the S phase of interphase?
the name of the phase where DNA is copied
the phase where the cytoplasm pinches off
cytokinesis
The purpose of mitosis
replacement of damaged cells or growth
The daughter cells in Meiosis are identical to each other. TRUE OR FALSE
False
How many chromosomes are in a cell replicating through mitosis?
46
The phase in interphase where DNA is replicated.
S phase
the phase where chromosomes become visible
prophase
