|
Gamete |
A mature haploid male or female cell that is able to unite with another of the opposite sex reproduction to form a zygote soma |
|
|
Somatic Cell |
Any cell of the body except sperm and egg cells . Hom |
|
|
Homologous Pair |
Homologous chromosomes are made up of chromosomes pairs of the approximately the same length |
|
|
Mitosis |
The part of the cell cycle when chromosomes in a cell nucleus are separated into two identical sets of chromosomes , each in its own nucleus |
|
|
Meiosis |
A type of cell division the results in four daughter cells each with half the number of chromosomes of the parent cell |
|
|
Sister Chromatid |
A sister chromatid refers to either of the two identical copies ( chromatids) |
|
|
Diploid |
A nucleus containing two complete sets of chromosomes, one form each parent |
|
|
Haploid |
Haploid is the term used when a cell has half the usual number of chromosomes |
|
|
Crossing Over |
Chromosomal crossover ( or crossing over ) is the exchange of genetic material between homologous chromosomes that results in chromosomes with a mix of moms and dads gene during meiosis |
|
|
Independent Assortment |
States the two or more characteristics are inherited |
|
|
Interphase |
The phase of the cell cycle in which a typical cell spends most of its life |
|
|
Cell Cycle |
The cell cycle is the series of events that's take in a cell leading to its division and duplication ( replication ) that produces two daughter cells |
|
|
Asexual Reproduction |
Creating more cells without 2 haploid sex cells having to come together |
|
|
Sexual Reproduction |
The production of new living organisms by combining genetics information ( gametes) from two individuals of different types ( sexes ) |
|
|
Daughter Cell |
Either of the two cells formed when a cell undergoes cell division by mitosis .Daughter cells are genetically identical to the parent cell because they contain the same number and type of chromosomes |
