DNA
Thin strands of DNA seen during Interphase
What is chromatin?
This is the type of cell you would get at the end of mitosis.
What are somatic cells?
This microtubule structure is responsible for pulling apart chromosomes during cell division.
What is the spindle?
The number of divisions seen during Meiosis.
What are 2?
Having one X results in this disorder.
What is Turner Syndrome?
If you separate a chromosome into two halves, this is what each half would be called.
What is a sister chromatid?
If you were to order the steps of mitosis, this is what you would find.
What are P,P,M,A,T?
During this type of cell division, you create somatic cells.
What is mitosis?
This swapping of chromosomal material adds to diversity of life.
What is crossing over?
This causes homologous chromosomes not to separate during meiosis.
What is nondisjunction?
This is what holds sister chromatids together.
What is a centromere?
What are G1, S, and G2?
When cell division does not stop at checkpoints during mitosis, this would occur.
What is cancer?
Sometimes a segment of DNA can break off and reattach upside down.
What is an inversion?
Individuals with Down's Syndrome have an extra number of this chromosome pair.
What is the 21st autosomal pair?
These are two sets of the same chromosome found in your cells.
What are homologous pairs?
This stage pulls the sister chromatids apart.
What is anaphase?
The spindle attaches this this part of the chromosome before cell division.
What is the centromere?
What is a deletion?
Cancer does this when a part of it breaks off and spreads to another area of the body.
What is metastasizes?
If a goldfish has 50 chromosomes at the end of meiosis, this is how many chromosomes you would find in a somatic cell.
What is 100?
This forms in plant cells during the final phase of mitosis to create the cell wall.
What is the cell plate?
Cell division can be dependent upon these two factors beyond mitosis check points.
What are density dependence and anchorage dependence?
When meiosis is over for a female, this is what you would have.
What are 3 polar bodies and 1 egg?
These two syndromes result in individuals who are sterile.
What are Turners Syndrome and Kleinfelter's Syndrome?
