|
Mitosis |
The division of a single nucleus into two identical nuclei. Mitosis and cytokinesis make up the mitotic (M) phase of the cell cycle |
|
|
Homologous |
Identical. Matched in length, centromere position, and staining pattern. Chromosones that carry the same genes. |
|
|
Karyotype |
an ordered display of magnified images of an individual's chromosomes arranged in pairs. Allow for the Observation of homologous chromosome pairs, number, and structure. Can ID genetic defects. |
|
|
Polyploid |
More than two chromosome sets. Occurs from errors in mitosis or meiosis. Observed in many plant species. Less frequent in animals. |
|
|
Turner's Syndrome |
Affects females, missing a sex chromosome (XO). Look like little girls, infertile |
|
|
Klinefelter Syndrome |
Affects males, extra X chromosome (XXY). Female body characteristics, infertile |
|
|
Centromeres |
The region of a duplicated chromosome where two sister chromatids are joined. Divides at the onset of anaphase |
|
|
Centrosome |
Microtubules originate from these. |
