Acrocentric
|
centromere near the end of the chromosome
very short arm and long arm |
Hint 1. One of three types of chormosomes
Hint 2. Based on the position of the centromere |
|
Anaphase
|
Fourth Stage of Mitosis
Chromosomes are pulled apart into individual chromatids |
Fourth Stage of Mitosis
|
|
Autosome
|
Chromosomes which are the same in both sexes (same in number as well as type)
|
Type of Chromosome
|
|
Autosomal
|
Relating to Autosomes
|
|
|
Banding pattern
|
Pattern which uniquely identifies a chromosome
|
The same from chromosome homologs
|
|
Centromere
|
The regsion where the four arms of the chromosome connect
|
Part of the Chromosome
|
|
Chiasma
|
A crossing in a homologous pair of chromosomes during Meiosis I.
At a Chiasma, chromosomes trade segments. |
Occurs during Meiosis I
|
|
Chomatid
|
One of the two visibly distinct longitudinal subunits of all replicated chrromosomes that becomes visible between early prophase and metaphase of mitosis.
|
Part of a chromosome
|
|
Chromatid disjunction
|
The separation of sister chromatids at anaphase II
|
|
|
Chromosome
|
The genetic material of a cell
It literally means "colored body," because the threadlike structures are visible under the microscope only after they are stained with dyes. |
|
|
Chromosome disjunction
|
The separation of homologous chromosomes at anaphase I
|
Underlies Mendel's observation of the segragation of alleles.
|
|
Crossing over
|
Synonym for Chiasmata
Region where chromosomes cross and exchange segments in Meiosis Prophase I |
Synonym for Chiasmata
|
|
Cytokinesis
|
Divsion of cytoplasm which causes one cell to split into two cells.
|
|
|
Dichtyotene
|
Female Egg Prophase II stage of Meiosis. Egg (primary and secondary oocyte) stays hear until ovulation.
|
Relates to Female Mammal Meiosis
|
|
Diploid
|
Cells that have chromsomes in pairs
|
|
|
Exchange
|
Homologous Chromosomes physically exchange parts during Meiosis I
|
Occurs during Meiosis I
|
|
first meiotic division
|
Meiosis I - Separates Homologous chormosomes
|
|
|
G1
|
First part of interphase immediately following cellular division. During G1 chromosomes remain in the single chromatid condition.
|
Part of Interphase part of Mitosis cycle.
|
|
G2
|
Last part of Interphase. Chromosomes are in the two chormatid form.
|
Section of Interphase part of Mitosis cycle.
|
|
Haploid
|
Cells which contain only one copy of each chromosome.
|
Number of chromosomes...
|
|
Homologs
|
Chromsomes which containing the same genes (not the same alles but each locus controls the same trait)
|
|
