one of the two strands of a chromosome that become visible during meiosis or mitosis | ||
the region of the chromosome that holds the two sister chromatids together during mitosis | ||
the material that makes up both mitotic and interphase chromosomes; a complex of proteins and DNA strands that are loosely coiled such that translation and transcription can occur | ||
one of the pair of chromosomes that determine the sex of an individual | ||
any chromosome that is not a sex chromosome | ||
chromosomes that have the same sequence of genes, that have the same structure, and that pair during meiosis | ||
a micrograph of the array of chromosomes visible in a cell during metaphase; a graphical display that shows an individual's chromosomes arranged in homologous pairs and in order of diminishing size` | ||
a cell that contains two haploid sets of chromosomes | ||
describes a cell, nucleus, or organism that has only one set of unpaired chromosomes | ||
a form of asexual reproduction in single-celled organisms by which one cell divides into two cells of the same size | ||
in eukaryotic cells, a process of cell division that forms two new nuclei, each of which has the same number of chromosomes | ||
reproduction that does not involve the union of gametes and in which a single parent produces offspring that are genetically identical to the parent | ||
a process in cell division during which the number of chromosomes | ||
a haploid reproductive cell that unites with another haploid reproduction cell to form a zygote | ||
a period between two mitotic or meiotic divisions buring which the cell grows, copies its DNA, and dynthsizes proteins | ||
the division of the cytoplasm of a cell; _________ follows the division of the cell's nucleus by mitosis or meiosis | ||
the first stage of mitosis and meiosis in cell division; characterized by the condensation of the chromosomes and the dissolution of the nuclear envelope | ||
one of the microtubules that extend across a dividing eukaryotic cell; assists in the movement of chromosomes | ||
one of the stages of mitosis and meiosis, during which all of the chromosomes move to the cell's equator | ||
a phase of mitosis and meiosis in which the chromosomes separate | ||
