Stephen Fyler 8.2
chromosome |
|
|
Stephen Fyler 8.2
long strands of DNA wrapped around proteins called histones |
Stephen Fyler 8.2
chromatin |
|
|
Stephen Fyler 8.2
the sequence of growth and division of a cell |
Stephen Fyler 8.2
cell cycle |
|
|
Stephen Fyler 8.2
a cell grows in size and carries on metabolism; the majority of a cell's life is spent in this growth period |
Stephen Fyler 8.2
interphase |
|
|
Stephen Fyler 8.2
the process by which two daughter cells are formed, each containing a complete set of chromosomes |
Stephen Fyler 8.2
mitosis |
|
|
Stephen Fyler 8.2
the long, stringy chomatin coils up into visible chromosomes; the first and longest phase of mitosis |
Stephen Fyler 8.2
prophase |
|
|
Stephen Fyler 8.2
the two halves of the doubled structure in the chromosome |
Stephen Fyler 8.2
sister chromatid |
|
|
Stephen Fyler 8.2
this structure holds together sister chromatids |
Stephen Fyler 8.2
centromere |
|
|
Stephen Fyler 8.2
small, dark, cylindrical structures that are made of microtubules and are located just outside the nucleus |
Stephen Fyler 8.2
centriole |
|
|
Stephen Fyler 8.2
a football-shaped, cagelike structure consisting of thin fibers made of microtubules |
Stephen Fyler 8.2
spindle |
|
|
Stephen Fyler 8.2
the short second phase of mitosis in which the doubled chromosomes become attached to the spindle fibers by their centromeres |
Stephen Fyler 8.2
metaphase |
|
|
Stephen Fyler 8.2
the third phase of mitosis in which the centromeres split apart and chromatid pairs from each chromosome separate from each other |
Stephen Fyler 8.2
anaphase |
|
|
Stephen Fyler 8.2
the final phase of mitosis in which begins as the chromatids reach the opposite poles of the cell |
Stephen Fyler 8.2
telophase |
|
|
Stephen Fyler 8.2
the cell process following mitosis in which the cell's cytoplasm divides and separates into new cells |
Stephen Fyler 8.2

multiple organs that work together to perform a specific life function |
Stephen Fyler 8.2
organ system |
|
|
Stephen Fyler 8.3
a large complex polymer composed of carbon, hyrdrogen, oxygen, nitrogen, and sometimes sulfur |
Stephen Fyler 8.3
