Terms of Meiosis
Phases
100
The process that results in new cells with genetic material that is identical to the original cell
What is mitosis
100
The process by which the chromosome number is halved.
What is meiosis?
100
The end product of mitosis is the cell having two sets of chromosomes.
What is diploid?
100
These chromosomes have the same genes located in the same positions. One comes from the mother and the other comes from the father.
What are homologous chromosomes?
100
the phase when the homologous chromosomes line up next to each other.
What is metaphase I ?
200
The number of phases in mitosis.
What is four?
200
The number of cycles that meiosis goes through.
What is two?
200
This is attached to the spindle fibers that appears in prophase.
What are centrioles?
200
These full chromosomes share a centromere.
What are sister chromatids?
200
the phase when homologous chromosomes are pulled to opposite poles
What is anaphase I?
300
the longest phase in mitosis where chromosomes condense
what is prophase?
300
The process in meiosis that ensures more genetic variation
What is crossing over?
300
The part of the chromosome that the spindle fiber attaches to.
What is a centromere?
300
This process greatly increases genetic variation among cells.
What is crossing-over?
300
the phase where chromosomes reach the poles and begin to uncoil
What is telophase?
400
This is the location in your body where mitosis takes place
What is the nucleus?
400
The phase of meiosis where crossing over occurs?
What is prophase I?
400
the name of reproductive cells
What are gametes?
400
These are alternative gene forms.
What are alleles?
400
the phase where the cytoplasm pinches off
What is cytokinesis?
500
The purpose of mitosis
What is the replacement of damaged cells or growth?
500
This is where the cell goes from diploid to haploid.
What is anaphase I?
500
Name the term for the cells of normal body cells.
What are somatic cells?
500
Sister chromatids are described as this.
What are two identical copies of double stranded DNA?
500
the phase of meiosis where sister chromosomes separate.
What is anaphase II?
