9695816006	sexual reproduction	reproduction involving the union or fusion of a male and a female gamete	1
9695816007	binary fission	A form of asexual reproduction in which one cell divides to form two identical cells.	2
9695816008	Budding	Smaller copy grows and splits from parent organism	3
9695816009	vegetative propagation	kind of asexual reproduction that uses parts of plants to grow new plants	4

9695816018	somatic cells	what is and example of a diploid (2N) cell?	13
9695816019	zygote	fertilized egg cell, (1N + 1N)	14
9695816020	sister chromatids	connect to form the distinct x shape of chromosomes	15
9695816021	centromere	center at which sister chromatids join together	16
9695816022	kinetochore	connects "wires"/strands of inner chromosome together	17

9695816024	kinins	what stops the G1 and G2 cycle at regular intervals? What controls the process?	24
9695816025	cytokinesis	cell membrane begins to pinch in and divide	25
9695816026	histones	sausage shaped proteins which DNA wrap around	26
9695816027	locus	area on chromosomes where genes are located	27
9695816028	telomere	aglet shaped cover that prevents the chromosome from destabilizing	28
9695816029	stem cells	cells that have yet to devote themselves to one type of cell	29
9695816030	2 m	about how long is a strand of human DNA?	30
9695816031	homologous	chromosomes that are or appear to be the same	31
9695816032	autosomes	term used to refer to the 1 to 22 pairs of chromosomes, the last being the sex determining pair	32
9695816033	cleavage	cell membrane pinches in towards cell	33
9695816034	tetraploid	meiosis results not in diploid cells, but another type of ploid cell (4)	34
9695816035	sinapsis	chromosomes find each other	35
9695816036	chiasmata	area where chromosome pieces "switch over" and swap places, promotes genetic variation	36
9695816037	genetic variation	shuffling chromosomes, crossing over, fusion of gametes, and epigenetics are four ways to promote what?	37
