100
In Greek, means less and act or process
What is meiosis?
100
An exchange of genetic material between nonsister chromatids
What is crossing-over?
100
similar to interphase between mitotic divisions
What is interkinesis?
100
the time between a eukaryotic cell dividing and its' subsequent daughter cells dividing
What is the cell cycle?
100
not cancerous
What is benign
200
Result of sexual reproduction. Has the full, or diploid (2N) number of chromosomes
What is a zygote?
200
results in offspring that have a different sequence of alleles and therefore different genes than their parents
What is genetic recombination?
200
homologous chromosomes separate and move towards the poles
What is Anaphase I?
200
most of the cell's life is spent in this phase
What is interphase?
200
results from mutation of the genes that regulate the cell cycle
What is cancer?
300
alternate forms of a gene, such as long fingers or short fingers
What are alleles?
300
results in the homologous chromosomes separating independently or in a random manner
What is independent assortment?
300
Homologous pairs allign independently
What is Metaphase I?
300
each of the two identical DNA double helices that result from the completion of DNA replication
What is a chromatid?
300
the gradual development of a cancerous characteristics in cells
What is Carcinogenesis?
400
Upon being stained, show similar banding patterns because they contain genes for the same traits in the same order
What are homologous chomosomes (or homologues)?
400
the gamete produced by one individual(male) are joined with the gamete of a nother individual(female)
What is fertilization?
400
Daughter cells are forming and will go on to divide again
What is Telophase I?
400
signaling protein necessary for the cell to proceed from the G1 stage to the S stage
What is a cyclin?
400
the spreading and forming of new tumors distant from the primary tumor
What is metastasis?
500
In Greek, it means united or joined together, but with chromosomes it is an unknown attraction.
What is a synapsis?
500
found outside the centromeres and are attached to the spindle fibers
What are the kinetochores?
500
the two results of the primary oocyte dividing
What are the secondary oocyte and a polar body?
500
sequence of events that results in a fragmented cell that becomes phagocytized
What is Apoptosis?
500
cancer causing genes
What are oncogenes?
