one of two identical parts of a chromosome chromatid
a region of the chromosome where the two sister chromatids are held together and which is the site of attachment of the chromosome to the spindle fibers during mitosis centromere
a cell that contains both chromosomes of a homologous pair diploid
a protein molecule that DNA wraps around during chromosome formation histone
a picture of an individual's chromosomes karyotype
a phase of mitosis and meiosis in which the chromosomes separate anaphase
proteins that are generally involved in controlling the activity of specific regions of the DNA nonhistone

Use these flashcards to help memorize information. Look at the large card and try to recall what is on the other side. Then click the card to flip it. If you knew the answer, click the green Know box. Otherwise, click the red Don't know box.

When you've placed seven or more cards in the Don't know box, click "retry" to try those cards again.

If you've accidentally put the card in the wrong box, just click on the card to take it out of the box.

You can also use your keyboard to move the cards as follows:

If you are logged in to your account, this website will remember which cards you know and don't know so that they are in the same box the next time you log in.

When you need a break, try one of the other activities listed below the flashcards like Matching, Snowman, or Hungry Bug. Although it may feel like you're playing a game, your brain is still making more connections with the information to help you out.

To see how well you know the information, try the Quiz or Test activity.
