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
What is meiosis?
The end product of mitosis is the cell having two sets of chromosomes
What is diploid?
The longest phase of the cell cycle
What is interphase?
The phase when the chromosomes line up in the middle of the cell
What is metaphase?
The number of phases in mitosis
What is four?
The number of cycles that meiosis goes through
What is two?
This is attached to the spindle fibers that appears in prophase
What are centrioles?
The synthesis of new organelles and the copying of DNA
What is purpose of the cell cycle?
The phase when chromosomes pull apart toward the poles
What is anaphase?
the longest phase in mitosis where chromosomes condense
What is prophase?
The process in meiosis that ensures more genetic variation
What is crossing over?
The part of the chromosome that the spindle fiber attaches to
What is a centromere?
The three phases of interphase
What are G1, S, and G2?
The phase where chromosomes reach the poles and begin to uncoil
What is telophase?
This is the location in your body where mitosis takes place
What is your body cells or autosomes?
The phase of meiosis where crossing over occurs?
What is metaphase?
The term for reproductive cells
What are gametes?
The phase where the result is two cells form
What is cytokinesis?
The phase where the cytoplasm pinches off
What is cytokinesis?
The purpose of mitosis
What is the replacement of damaged cells or growth?
This is placed after the phase to indicate the cycle that it is in
What is a roman numeral?
The term for normal body cells
What are autosomes?
The phase where DNA is replicated
What is the S phase of interphase?
The phase where chromosomes become visible
What is prophase?
