The technical term for a cell that contains half the DNA as its parent cell
What is haploid?
This phase includes sister chromatids aligning in the center of the cell
What is metaphase?
List the phases of mitosis
What is the G1, S, G2, and M phase?
This happens during the S phase of the cell cycle
What is DNA replication?
This phase occurs when kinetochores begin shortening spindle fibers and sister chromatids are pulled apart
What is anaphase?
In meiosis, this is the phase in which homologous pairs line up in the center of the cell
This is the location in your body where mitosis takes place
What are autosomes?
Since meiosis undergoes 2 cycles, how many times does the DNA replicate?
What is once?
The shortest portion of the cell cycle
What is mitosis and cytokinesis?
The purpose of mitosis
What is cell division/cell replication?
The phase of meiosis where crossing over occurs?
What is prophase I?
This type of protein is responsible for the depolymerization of spindle fibers and the separation of sister chromatids
What are kinetochores?
In meiosis, the reforming of the nuclear envelope occurs during this phase
What is telophase II?
