mitosis and asexual
practice mitosis and asexual reproduction terms
| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| when each cell grows and divides | cell cycle |
| hereditary material (chromosomes) duplicate and the nucleus divides | mitosis |
| cell divided due to cytoplasm pinching | cytokinesis |
| rod-like structures in cells that divide and contain hereditary information | chromosomes |
| relaxed, thread-like form chromosomes take in a non-dividing cell | chromatin |
| animal cell organelles that aid in cell division | centrioles |
| one of the two strands of a doubled chromosome | chromatid |
| region where two chromatids attach | centromere |
| during telophase of a plant cell, this will form and eventually become the cell wall | cell plate |
| to copy | replicate |
| cell phase in which the cell grows and the chromosomes replicate | interphase |
| cell phase in which the chromosomes become visible (not in a chromatin form), in animal cells the centrioles form asters and spindles; nucleus disappears | prophase |
| cell phase in which chromosomes line up on the equator of the cell | metaphase |
| middle of the cell | equator |
| ends of the cell | poles |
| phase in which chromosomes are pulled apart | anaphase |
| phase in which a nucleus forms around each set of chromosomes, producing two nuclei | telophase |
| protein that regulates the cell cycle | cyclin |
| disease in which cells divide uncontrollably | cancer |
| form of reproduction that involves mitosis; only one parent, offspring and parents are genetically identical | asexual |
| asexual reproduction in which organism splits in two equal parts | binary fission |
| asexual reproduction in which offspring grow from undifferentiated cells of a single parent (usually unequally) | budding |
| the ability to regrow lost body parts | regeneration |
| seed-like structures formed from mitosis | spores |
