9733368997Cell CycleAn ordered sequence of events in the life of a cell0
9733368998MitosisA process of nuclear division in eukaryotic cells. Produces genetically identical cells1
9733368999CytokinesisThe division of the cytoplasm to form two separate daughter cells immediately after mitosis, meiosis I, or meiosis II.2
9733369000Cell DivisionThe reproduction of cells3
9733369001GenomeThe genetic material of an organism or virus4
9733369002ChromosomesA cellular structure carrying genetic material, found in the nucleus of eukaryotic cells. Each chromosome consists of one very long DNA molecule and associated proteins5
9733369003ChromatinThe complex of DNA and proteins that makes up eukaryotic chromosomes. When the cell is not dividing, exists in its dispersed form, as a mass of very long, thin fibers that are not visible with a light microscope6
9733369004Somatic CellsAny cell in a multicellular organism except a sperm or egg7
9733369005GametesA haploid reproductive cell, such as an egg or sperm. Unite during sexual reproduction to produce a diploid zygote.8
9733369006Sister ChromatidsTwo copies of a duplicated chromosome attached to each other by proteis at the centromere and sometimes, along the arms. While joined, two sister chromatids make up one chromosome. Chromatids are eventually separated during mitosis or meiosis II9
9733369007CentromereJoins two sister chromatids10
9733369008How many chromatids are in a duplicated chromosome?211
9733369009mitotic (M) phaseThe phase of the cell cycle that includes mitosis and cytokinesis.12
9733369010interphaseThe period in the cell cycle when the cell is not dividing. Cellular metabolic activity is high, chromosomes and organelles are duplicated, and cell size may increase. Often accounts for about 90% of the cell cycle.13
9733369011mitotic spindleAn assemblage of microtubules and associated proteins that is involved in the movement of chromosomes during mitosis.14
9733369012Transformation(1) The conversion of a normal animal cell to a cancerous cell. (2) A change in genotype and phenotype due to the assimilation of external DNA by a cell. When the external DNA is from a member of a different species, transformation results in horizontal gene transfer15
9733369013binary fissionA method of asexual reproduction by "division in half."16
9733369014asexual reproductionA type of reproduction involving only one parent that produces genetically identical offspring by budding or by the division of a single cell or the entire organism into two or more parts.17
9733369015sexual reproductionA type of reproduction in which two parents give rise to offspring that have unique combinations of genes inherited from the gametes of the two parents.18
9733369016diploid cellA cell containing two sets of chromosomes (2n), one set inherited from each parent.19
9733369017haploid cellA cell containing only one set of chromosomes (n).20
9733369018MeiosisA series of two cell division which separates homologous chromosomes into four, haploid sex cells.21
9733369019S PhaseThe synthesis phase of the cell cycle; the portion of interphase during which DNA is replicated.22
9733369020G2 PhaseThe second gap, or growth phase, of the cell cycle, consisting of the portion of interphase after DNA synthesis occurs.23
9733369021CentrosomeA structure present in the cytoplasm of animal cells that functions as a microtubule-organizing center and is important during cell division, contains the centriole.24
9733369022Metaphase PlateAn imaginary structure located at a plane midway between the two poles of a cell in metaphase on which the centromeres of all the duplicated chromosomes are located.25
9733369023Cleavage FurrowThe first sign of cleavage in an animal cell; a shallow groove around the cell in the cell surface near the old metaphase plate.26
9733369024Cell PlateA membrane-bounded, flattened sac located at the midline of a dividing plant cell, inside which the new cell wall forms during cytokinesis.27
9733369025Cell cycle control systemA cyclically operating set of molecules in the eukaryotic cell that both triggers and coordinates key events in the cell cycle.28
9733369026G0 PhaseA nondividing state occupied by cells that have left the cell cycle, sometimes reversibly.29
9733369027Growth Factor(1) A protein that must be present in the extracellular environment (culture medium or animal body) for the growth and normal development of certain types of cells. (2) A local regulator that acts on nearby cells to stimulate cell proliferation and differentiation.30
9733369028What are the 4 phases of mitosis?Prophase Metaphase Anaphase Telophase31
9733369029ProphaseThe first stage of mitosis, in which 3 things happen: 1) chromatin condenses into chromosomes 2) Nuclear envelope breaks down 3) mitotic spindle fibers are assembled.32
9733369030MetaphaseThe 2nd stage of mitosis, in which the spindle is complete and the chromosomes, attached to microtubules at their kinetochores, are all aligned at the metaphase plate.33
9733369031AnaphaseThe 3rd stage of mitosis, in which the chromatids of each chromosome have separated and the daughter chromosomes are moving to the poles of the cell.34
9733369032TelophaseThe 4th and final stage of mitosis, in which daughter nuclei are forming and cytokinesis has typically begun.35
9733369033How many chromatids are in ONE duplicated chromosome?236
9733369034spindle fibersMicrotubules involved in the movement of chromosomes during mitosis.37
9733369035Through a microscope, you can see a cell with two nuclei.. This cell is most likely in what state Interphase, Prophase, Metaphase, Anaphase, Telophasea plant cell in the process of cytokinesis.38
9733369038What are 2 parts of cell division?Mitosis and Cytokinesis Cell division consists of two processes: mitosis and cytokinesis. Mitosis— division of the nucleus and its chromosomes39
9733369040What happens during metaphase?1. The mitotic spindle is fully formed 2. The microtubules attached to kinetochores move the chromosomes to the metaphase plate, an imaginary plane equidistant from the poles.40
9733369041What happens during anaphase?1. The two centromeres of each chromosome come apart, separating the sister chromatids. 2. The spindle fibers pull apart the chromatids to form two nucleus of the cells.41
9733369042What happens during Telophase?1. nuclear envelopes form around the identical sets of chromosomes at the two poles of the cell. 2. The chromosomes uncoil 3. Nucleoli appear in the two new nuclei.42
9733369043G1 PhaseThe first gap, or growth phase, of the cell cycle, consisting of the portion of interphase before DNA synthesis begins.43
9733369045The region of a chromosome holding the two double strands of replicated DNA together is called _____.a centromere44
