1200523482binary fissiona form of asexual reproduction in single-celled organisms by which one cell divides into two cells of the same size29
1200523483cell cycle control systemA cyclically operating set of molecules in the cell that triggers and coordinates key events in the cell cycle.30
1200523484checkpointA control point in the cell cycle where stop and go-ahead signals can regulate the cycle.31

2664569452OlmecsThe first "major" civilization in Mexico. They lived in tropical lowlands and because of abundant rainfall there was no need to build extensive irrigation systems. They laid many of the foundations for the civilizations that followed. They appeared to practice ritual bloodletting and played the Mesoamerican ballgame, hallmarks of nearly all subsequent Mesoamerican societies.18
2664569453Axial AgeA term coined by German philosopher Karl Jaspers to describe the period from 800 to 200 BCE, during which similar new ways of thinking appeared in Persia, India, China, and the Western world.19
2664569454Era of Warring States551 - 479 BCE. A time of constant fighting and disorder when no strong central government control existed in China. It is within this time that three important philosophies emerged: Confucianism, Daoism, and Legalism.20
2664569455ConfucianismA worldview, a social ethic, a political ideology, a scholarly tradition, and a way of life. An all-encompassing way of thinking and living that entails ancestor reverence and a profound human-centered religiousness.21
2664569456Five Key Relationships in Confucianism1. Ruler to subject 2. Father to son 3. Husband to wife 4. Older brother to younger brother 5. Friend to friend22
2664569457DaoismA religio-philosophical tradition that has shaped Chinese life for more than 2,000 years. A Daoist attitude toward life can be seen in the accepting and yielding, the joyful and carefree sides of the Chinese character, an attitude that offsets and complements moral and duty-conscious, austere and purposeful character ascribed to Confucianism.23
2664569458LegalismA philosophy that was based on the principle that people were inherently evil and needed strict laws and punishment to behave properly. Additionally, a strong central government with an absolute leader and heavy taxes would ensure a more stable society.24
2664569459HebrewsA term synonymous with the Semitic Israelites, especially in the pre-monarchic period when they were still nomadic.25
2664569460JudaismOne of the oldest monotheistic religions, founded over 3,500 years ago in the Middle East. Jews believe that God appointed them to be his chosen people in order to set an example of holiness and ethical behavior to the world.26
2664569461Israel and JudahRelated Iron Age kingdoms of the ancient Levant. Israel emerged as an important local power by the 9th century BCE before falling to the Neo-Assyrian Empire in 722 BCE. Judah emerged in the 8th century and enjoyed a period of prosperity as a client-state of first Assyria and then Babylon before a revolt against the Neo-Babylonian Empire led to its destruction in 586 BCE.27
2664569462DiasporaRefers to Jews who were exiled from Israel and Judah. Throughout much of Jewish history most Jews had lived in the Diaspora.28
2664569463ChristianityAn Abrahamic, monotheistic religion based on the life and oral teachings of Jesus of Nazareth as presented in the New Testament.29
2664569464Edict of Milan313 CE. An agreement to treat Christians benevolently within the Roman Empire.30
2664569465Ancient GreeceA civilization that lasted from the 8th/6th century BCE to 600 AD. Immediately following this period was the beginning of the Early Middle Ages and the Byzantine Era. Because of conquests by Alexander the Great of Macedonia, Hellenistic civilization flourished from Central Asia to the western end of the Mediterranean Sea. Classical Greek culture, especially philosophy, had a powerful influence on the Roman Empire, which carried a version of it to many parts of the Mediterranean Basin and Europe, for which Classical Greek is generally considered to be the seminal culture which provided the foundation of modern Western culture.31
2664569466Sparta and AthensThe two most famous Greek city-states. Sparta used military strength to impose order while Athens used democratic principles to negotiate order.32
2664569467Persian WarGreek city-states in Anatolia (modern-day Turkey) resented what they viewed as the oppressive rule of the Persian Empire and revolted. Athenians sent their own troops for support. The alliance of the Greek city-states against the Persians led to the formation of the Delian League, of which Athens served as leader.33
2664569468Peloponnesian WarAthenian leadership soon caused resentment in other parts of the Greek world. The conflict came to a head during the Peloponnesian War. Sparta and Athens led the two conflicting camps and though Sparta was victorious the internal conflict weakened Greece and left it vulnerable to domination by Macedonia, a state north of the Greek peninsula.34
2664569469Maurya Empire322 - 185 BCE. An extensive Iron Age historical power in Ancient India. Founded by Chandragupta Maurya, he took advantage of the disruptions of local powers in the wake of the withdrawal westward by Alexander the Great's Hellenic armies. Internal and external trade, agriculture, and economic activities all thrived and expanded across India thanks to the creation of a single and efficient system of finance, administration, and security. After the Kalinga war the empire experienced nearly half a century of peace and security under Ashoka. Mauryan India also enjoyed an era of social harmony, religious transformation, and expansion of the sciences.35
2664569470Difference Between Centralized and Decentralized RuleCentralized rule means that the emperor rules directly through governors, military leaders, or scholars. Decentralized rule means that the emperor lets local rulers rule their own people, although they must collect and pay taxes and/or tribute to the emperor. Centralized rule is often more stable and resistant to outside invaders.36
2664569471Gupta Empire320 - 550 CE. An ancient Indian empire founded by Maharaja Sri Gupta. This period is called the Golden Age of India and was marked by extensive inventions and discoveries in science, technology, engineering, art, literature, logic, mathematics, astronomy, religion, and philosophy that crystalized the elements of what is generally known as Hindu culture. Strong trade ties also made the region an important cultural center.37
2664569472The Silk RoadA network of trade and cultural transmission routes that were central to cultural interaction through regions of the Asian continent connecting the West and East by linking traders, merchants, pilgrims, monks, soldiers, nomads, and urban dwellers from China and India to the Mediterranean Sea.38
2664569473Goods That Traveled East to WestCoral, cotton, ivory, pearls, silk, and spices.39
2664569474Goods That Traveled West to EastGlassware, gold and silver bullion, jewelry, olive oil, wool and linen.40
2664569475Han Dynasty206 BCE - 220 CE. Spanning over four centuries, the Han period is considered a golden age in Chinese history especially in arts, politics, and technology. All subsequent Chinese dynasties looked back to the Han period as an inspiring model of a united empire and self-perpetuating government.41
2664569476Ancient RomeA civilization that began on the Italian Peninsula as early as the 8th century BCE. During its 12 centuries of existence Roman civilization shifted from a monarchy to a classical republic and then to an increasingly autocratic empire. Through conquest and assimilation it came to dominate Southern and Western Europe, Asia Minor, North Africa, and parts of Northern and Eastern Europe. Ancient Roman society has contributed to modern government, law, politics, engineering, art, literature, and society. It achieved impressive technological and architectural feats, such as the construction of an extensive system of aqueducts and roads, as well as large monuments, palaces, and public facilities.42
2664569477Roman Kingdom753 BCE - 509 BCE. A period of the ancient Roman civilization characterized by a monarchical form of government of the city of Rome and its territories. Little is certain about the history of the kingdom as nearly no written records from that time survive. However, it began with the city's founding and ended with the overthrow of the kings and the establishment of the Roman Republic.43
2664569478Roman RepublicA period when Rome's control expanded from the city's immediate surroundings to hegemony over the entire Mediterranean world. It expanded through a combination of conquest and alliance. Eventually internal tensions led to a series of civil wars, climaxing with the assassination of Julius Caesar, which ended with the establishment of the Roman Empire.44
2664569479Roman EmpireA period characterized by government headed by emperors and large territorial holdings around the Mediterranean Sea in Europe, Africa, and Asia.45
