What is MITOSIS?
|
It is a way a Eukaryotic cell Reproduces. It is ALL somatic cells. ex: skin cells, hair cells. EXCEPT SPEM AND EGGS
|
ALL
|
|
|
What is Meiosis
|
It is a way a Eukaryotic cell Reproduces. Only sperm/pollen and eggs.
|
Only Two types
|
|
|
What is a SOMATIC CELL?
|
Any type of cell that is not involved in reproduction (sperm/pollen and eggs)
|
|
|
|
What is a GAMETE?
|
Specialised haploid cells produced by meiosis and involved in sexual reproduction.
|
|
|
|
What is a DIPLOID?
|
A cell with a full set of genetic material.
|
|
|
|
What is a HAPLOID?
|
organism possessing a single set of unpaired chromosomes. Gametes are haploid.
|
HALF = HALP a way to remeber
|
|
|
What is PROPHASE?
|
During this phase the chromosomes condense and become visible.
|
|
|
|
What is METAPHASE?
|
In this phase the chromosomes are well condensed and aligned along the metaphase plate.
|
|
|
|
What is ANAPHASE?
|
the separation of sister chromatids (or homologous chromosomes) followed by their movement towards the poles of the spindle.
|
|
|
|
What is TELOPHASE?
|
chromosome separation is completed. Occurring once in mitosis and twice in meiosis.
|
|
|
|
What is CYTOKINESIS?
|
Process in which the cytoplasm of a cell is divided after nuclear division (mitosis) is complete.
|
|
|
|
What is INTERKINESIS?
|
A resting point that occurs between two meiotic divisions.
|
|
|
|
What is CENTROMERE?
|
The region in eukaryote chromosomes where daughter chromatids are joined together.
|
|
|
|
What is CHROMATID?
|
One of two identical strands into which a chromosome splits during mitosis.
|
|
|
|
What is CHROMOSOME?
|
The self-replicating genetic structures of cells containing the cellular DNA
