Prophase
|
Chromosome already replicated during interphase, chromosome condense into compact structures. Makred by mitotic spindle
|
|
Mitotic Spindle
|
Is a structure that produces mechanical forces that pull chromosomes into the daughter cells during mitosis. First Created during Prophase. Consists of array of microtubles.
|
|
Spindle Fibers
|
The groups of microtubles that attach to the chromosomes
|
|
Centrosomes
|
The microtuble-organzation center responsible for mitotic spindle formation
|
|
Centrioles
|
found in centrosomes
|
|
Prometaphase
|
Nuclear envelope breaks down nucleolus disappears. Spindle fibers connect to each chromosome at locations called kinetochore
|
|
Kinetochore
|
Location that spindle fibers attach to sister chromotids. Located at centromere region
|
|
Metaphase
|
(middle phase), animal centrosomes completer their migration to oppisite sides of cell and chromosomes complete migration to the middle.
|
|
Metaphase plate
|
When metaphase is over the chromosomes are lined up at imaginary line plane
|
|
Anaphase
|
Sister chromatids seperate. Chromosomes are pulled to oppisite sides of cell.
|
|
Telophase
|
(end phase) a nuclear envelope begins to form around each set of chromosomes. The mitotic spindle disintegrates.
|
|
Cytokinesis
|
Cytoplasm divides to form two daughter cells, each with its own nucleus and complete set of organelles.
|
|
Sperm Cell
|
A male reproductive cell
|
|
Egg Cell
|
A female reproductive cell
|
|
Fertilization
|
The process of uniting sperm and egg
|
|
Embryo
|
Newly growing offspring
|
|
Gametes
|
reproductive cells such as sperm and eggs
|
|
Meiosis
|
is nuclear division thta leads to halving of chromosome number.
|
|
Homologous chromosomes (homologs)
|
Two chromosomes that have the same size and shape. a pair of chromosomes, one from each parent, which carry genes for the same traits, in the same order. In a karyotype, the members of a homologous pair look alike, for example, the pair of chromosome 1 look alike
|
|
Sex Chromosomes
|
Chromosomes that designate sex.
|
|
Autosomes
|
All non-sex chromosomes
|
|
Gene
|
a section of DNA that influences one or more hereditary traits in an individual.
|
|
Allele
|
Different versions of a particular gene.
|
|
Karyotype
|
The number and types of chromosomes present. The chromosomal complement of a cell, individual or species often shown as a picture of chromosomes arranged in order from largest to smallest
|
|
Haploid
|
a single set of chromosomes (half of the full set of genetic material). In humans, the haploid number of chromosomes is 23
|
|
Diploid
|
A full set of genetic material, consisting of paired chromosomes one chromosome from each parental set. Most animal cells except the gametes have a diploid set of chromosomes. The diploid human genome has 46 chromosomes. Compare haploid
|
|
Ploidy
|
The number and n is termed. The number of sets of chromosomes in a cell or an organism. For example, haploid means one set and diploid means two sets
|
|
polyploid
|
Have three or more of each type of chromosome in each cell.
|
|
gametogenesis
|
the process which the daughter cells from meiosis 1 and 2 form egg cells or sperm cells
|
|
Zygote
|
The cell that results from fertiliztaion which is full complement of chromosomes. 1 set from mother 1 from fater.
|
|
Maternal Chromosomes

come from the father
|
|
Crossing over
|
During prophase 1 non sister chromatids interact with each other to cross over.
|
|
Synapse
|
two pairs of non-sister chromatids are brought close together and cause crossing over.

|
Produces new combinations of alleles on the same chromosome.
