A form of asexual reproduction that produces identical offspring |
Binary fission |
|
|
A form of asexual reproduction that produces identical offspring. The process by which bacterial cells divide |
Binary fission |
|
|
The DNA and proteins associated with the DNA. In a eukaryotic cell, structures in the nucleus that are made up of DNA and protein and in a prokaryotic cell, the main ring of DNA |
Chromosomes |
|
|
The two exact copies of DNA that make up each chromosome |
Chromatid |
|
|
The two chromatids of a chromosome are attached at this point. The constricted region and a eukaryotic chromosome where sister chromatids are attached. |
Centromere |
|
|
Chromosomes that are similar in size, shape, and genetic content |
Homologous chromosomes |
|
|
When a cell, such as a somatic cell, contains two sets of chromosomes. Cells with a full set of paired chromosomes |
Diploid |
|
|
When a cell, such as egg a meat, contains one set of chromosomes. Cells with half the total number of chromosomes |
Haploid |
|
|
When a cell, such as egg cells, contains one set of chromosomes. Cells with half the total number of chromosomes |
Haploid |
|
|
Chromosomes that are not directly involved in determining the sex, gender, of an individual |
Autosomes |
|
|
One of the 23 pairs of chromosomes in humans, contain genes that will determine the sex of the individual |
Sex chromosomes |
|
|
Where the cell spends 90% of its time. The first three phases of the cell cycle. So growth in copying of chromosomes in preparation for cell division |
Interphase |
|
|
The process during cell division in which the nucleus of a cell is divided into two nuclei |
Mitosis |
|
|
Where the cell spends 90% of its time. The first three phases of the cell cycle. Cell growth in copying of chromosomes in preparation for cell division |
Interphase |
|
|
The process during cell division in which the nucleus of a cell is divided into two nuclei. The process in which the nucleus of the cell divides |
Mitosis |
|
|
The process during cell division in which the cytoplasm divides. The division of the cytoplasm, resulting in two daughter cells |
Cytokinesis |
|
|
When a single parent passes copies of all of its genes to each of its offspring and there is no Fusion of haploid cells such as gametes |
Asexual reproduction |
|
|
When two parents each form reproductive cells that have one half the number of chromosomes |
Sexual reproduction |
|
|
an organized of a person's chromosomes |
karyotype |
|
|
non sex diploid cells created by mitosis |
somatic cells |
|
|
examples of somatic cells |
skin, muscle, nerve, and blood cells |
|
|
sex cells,the only haploid cell, created by meiosis |
gamete |
|
|
examples of gametes |
sperm, egg, and pollen |
