Mitosis, Meiosis, Genetics
| Term | Definition |
|---|---|
| cell division that our body cells or somatic cells undergo | Mitosis |
| cell divisions that produce reproduction cells or gametes (sperm or egg) | Meiosis |
| study of heredity | Genetics |
| cell that has one set of chromosomes or one set of genes (n) | Haploid |
| cell that has two sets of chromosomes (chromosomes still in pairs) (2n) | Diploid |
| haploid cell egg and sperm (reproductive cell) | Gamete |
| diploid cells that are our body cells anything there than egg or sperm | Somatic cell |
| diploid cell fusion of egg and sperm | Zygote |
| cell grows | Interphase- G1 |
| DNA replicates | Interphase- S |
| produced anything needed for cell division | Interphase- G2 |
| trying to prevent cancer “guardian angel of cell division” | P53 gene |
| cell divion that prokaryotes undergo like bacteria | Binary Fission |
| rod shaped structure that contains DNA histone protiens | Chromosomes |
| replicated chromosomes two strands help together by a centromere | Sister Chromatids |
| similar in size shape and traits not identical | Homologous Chromosomes |
| mass of cells that are non-cancerous | Benign Tumor |
| mass of cells and tumors that are invasive metastasis | Malignant Tumor |
| pinching of the cell membrane during cytokinesis | Cleavage Furrow |
| forms before the cell wall during cytokinesis | Cell Plate |
| protein that holds two sister chromatids together | Centromere |
| microbulus that separate sister chromatids during cell division | Spindle Fibers |
| number of chromosomes in a human egg or sperm | 23 Chromosomes |
| number of chromosomes in a zygote, fertilized egg or a human body cell | 46 Chromosomes |
| the swapping of genes of non-sister chromatids in the homologous pairs | Crossing-Over |
| the replicated homologous pairs lie close together that becomes a tetrad (during Prophase I) | Synapsis |
| diagnostic tool used during the 16 week of pregnancy to determine the health and sex of the baby | Amniocentesis |
| fusion of egg and sperm | fertilization |
| What is the main goal of Mitosis? | to have identical daughter cells identical to each other and identical to the parent |
| What is the goals of Meiosis | to seperate the pairs of chromosomes - want one member of each pair |
