Mitosis
The process that results in new cells with genetic material that is identical to the original cell
What is mitosis
The process by which the chromosome number is halved. One diploid cell --> Four haploid cells
What is meiosis?
Cell has two sets of homologous chromosomes
What is diploid or 2n?
the longest phase of the cell cycle
What is interphase?
requires 2 parents, genetic diversity, meiosis.
What is sexual reproduction?
The 4 phases in mitosis.
What are prophase, metaphase, anaphase, and telophase?
Crossing over occurs in this stage of meiosis
What is Prophase 1?
A cell containing half the number of chromosomes as somatic cells.
What are haploid cells or gametes?
DNA is replicated during this phase of the cell cycle
What is interphase?
One parent, all offspring are genetically identical
What is asexual reproduction?
joins two identical chromosomes into a sister chromatid.
what is the centromere?
Homologous chromosomes are separated but sister chromatids remain together in this stage.
What is anaphase 1?
The formation of haploid gametes from diploid cells.
What meiosis?
DNA condenses into chromosomes
What is prophase?
budding is a common form of reproduction in this organism
What are yeasts?
Several stages of division from which two identical daughter cells arise from a single cell.
What is the cell cycle?
One from Dad, One from Mom. Code for differing forms of the same trait.
What are homologous chromosomes?
Pollen, Sperm, Eggs, Ova
What are gametes or haploid cells?
Division of the cell's DNA.
What is telophase?
binary fission is a common form of reproduction in this type of organism.
What are bacteria or unicellular organisms?
Organelles that move to cell poles and connect spindle fibers
What are centrioles?
Sister chromatids are separated in this stage of meiosis.
What is anaphase 2?
Muscle, blood, nerve, skin cells.
What are somatic cells?
Formation of a cell plate, cleavage furrow, division cytoplasm and organelles
What is cytokinesis?
division of roots, cuttings, tubers, and stolons in plants.
what is vegetative reproduction?
