6065508179ChromosomesThe structures in the nucleus that contain DNA.1
6065515077Binary FissionCellular reproduction in prokaryotic cells. Means "Splitting into two parts"2
6065524801Homologous ChromosomesEach chromosome of a pair of similar chromosome3
6065532374ChromatidsThe two copies of the chromosome once it is duplicated4
6065541590CentromereWhere the chromatids are connected5
6065553527MitosisThe process of separating duplicated chromosomes in order to create a new cell.6
6065560800CytokinesisThe process where the cytoplasm splits in two7
6065568263BuddingA type of asexual reproduction, where a piece of the parents body develops into an independent organism8
6065574409RegenerationA type of asexual reproduction, where the organism breaks into two or more parts, each growing into a new organism that is genetically identical to the parent9
6065581799Sexual ReproductionThe production of offspring by combining the genetic material of more than one parent10
6065586212Asexual ReproductionA single parent has offspring that are identical to itself11

6065598433EggThe female sex cell.13
6065602183ZygoteThe new type of cell that is made when an egg's nucleus fuses with a sperm's nucleus14
6065606682SporesSmall reproductive cells that are protected by a thick cell wall15
6065612827Sex CellsSpecialized cells that combine to form a zygote, they have half the normal number of chromosomes, one of each pair.16
6065620503MeiosisA process where the chromosomes are copied and separated in such a way that each daughter cell has half the normal number of chromosomes. Creates sex cells.17

6065633057Cell PlateThe primary structure the leads to the new cell membranes between two plant cells during cytokinesis20
6065636482Spindle FibersFibers that connect to the centromeres of the chromosomes and that help push and pull the chromosomes apart during mitosis21
6065641890GeneA portion of DNA that controls the characteristics of an offspring.22
