|
Cell Cycle |
The cycle that cells take to mitosis and make daughter cells. |
|
|
Interphase |
The chromosomes are all tangled in a form of threadlike chromatin. |
|
|
Prophase |
The chromosomes appear condensed and the nucleus isn't shown, meaning the chromosomes are in pairs. |
|
|
Metaphase |
All chromosomes lined up in the middle and spindle fibers are on opposite poles. |
|
|
Anaphase |
The chromosomes seperate from their pairs, and move towards the poles, pulled by the spindle fibers. |
|
|
Telophase |
The cytoplasm is dividing, meaning two daughter cells are forming but not fully way yet. |
|
|
Cytokinesis |
Two daughter cells are completely formed. |
|
|
G1 |
first of four phases of the cell cycle that takes place in eukaryotic cell division. |
|
|
G2 |
the third and final subphase of Interphase in the cell cycle directly preceding mitosis. |
|
|
S phase |
the part of the cell cycle in which DNA is replicated, occurring between G1 phase and G2 phase. |
|
|
G0 phase |
a period in the cell cycle in which cells exist in a quiescent state. |
|
|
Cancer |
A disease in which abnormal cells divide uncontrollably and destroy body tissue. |
|
|
Mitosis |
a part of the cell cycle in which chromosomes in a cell nucleus are separated into two identical sets of chromosomes |
|
|
Cell Division |
the division of a cell into two daughter cells with the same genetic material. |
|
|
Parent Cell |
it is a cell that divides to create two or more daughter cells |
|
|
Daughter Cell |
The cells that result from the reproductive division of one cell during mitosis or meiosis. |
|
|
Check Point |
Control Mechanisms |
|
|
Cell Plate |
the plate in the middle of two daughter cells in a plant cell |
|
|
Chromatin |
a complex structure of DNA and proteins that forms chromosomes within the nucleus |
|
|
Centrioles |
to help with cell division in animal cells. |
|
|
Microtubles |
responsible movements in all eukaryotic cells |
|
|
Nuclear Envelope/Membrane |
The other layer around the nucleus , it is a membrane |
|
|
Nucleolus |
The small circle in the middle of nucleus that produces ribosomes. |
|
|
Poles |
The opposite sides of the cell |
|
|
Spindle Fibers |
divides the genetic material in the cell |
|
|
Metaphase Plate |
the plate in the middle of the cell during the metaphase phase |
|
|
Cell Plate |
the plate in the middle of a plant cell, that forms in the middle during cell division in a plant cell |
|
|
Cleavage Furrow |
a small identation , that occurs during the telophase phase and it begins to divide the cytoplasm in two |
|
|
Meiosis |
the process which gametes are created |
|
|
Gametes |
Sex Cells: Ovaries, Eggs |
|
|
Somatic Cells |
Body Cells: hair cells, skin cells |
|
|
Haploid |
Cells with half the amount of DNA as their parent cell |
|
|
Diploid |
Cells with the same amount of DNA as their parent cell |
|
|
Zygote |
Gametes must have half the chromosomes that somatic cells have so they can combine to form this, and have the same number of chromosomes as parents. |
|
|
Genetic Diversity |
differences between the DNA of individuals of the same species |
|
|
Biodiversity |
variety in living things |
|
|
Crossing Over |
During prophase of meiosis I, homologous chromosomes pair up with each other and exchange different segments of their DNA to increase genetic diversity. |
|
|
Independent Assortment |
How different genes independently separate from one another when reproductive (sex) cells are produced. |
|
|
homologous chromosomes |
similar chromosomes |
