|
karyotype
|
the characterization of the chromosome complement of a species( such as the shape, type, number, etc. of chromosomes). to arrange and classify the chromosome of an organism based on the number, size, shape, and other characteristic of the chromosomes. |
|
|
sex chromosomes
|
a type of chromosome in the genome that is involved in the development of sexual characteristics in an organism. it occurs in pairs in somatic cells while singly in sex cells
|
|
|
mitosis
|
the process where a single cell divides resulting in generally two identical cells, each containing the same number of chromosomes and genetic content as that of the original cell.
|
|
|
cell cycle
|
the sequence of growth and division of a cell; consist of interphase ( g1, s, g2 ), mitosis, and cytokinesis
|
|
|
interphase
|
the phase in the cycle of a cell wherein the cell is not undergoing cell division (as compared to mitosis and meiosis)
|
|
|
cytokinesis
|
the division of the cytoplasm and the plasma membrane following the division of the nucleus resulting into two cells, each having its own nucleus and cytoplasm surrounded by a plasma membrane.
