| Term | Definition |
|---|---|
| Prophase | visible chromosomes nuclear membrane dissolvse, spindle fibers appear |
| metaphase | chromosomes align along the equator of the cell |
| anaphase | chromosomes are pulled away or to opposite ends of the cell |
| telophase | nuclear membrane reforms |
| cytokensis | occurs cytoplasmic division resulting in two new cells |
| meiosis | the cell division that produces gametes with half the number of chromosomes |
| haploid | contain half the number of chromosomes |
| diploid | contain the normal number of chromosomes |
| somatic cells | body cells |
| crossing over | prophase 1 chromoses cross over and exchange information this results in randomized traits |
| ribosomes | potein production |
| proteins | enzymes structual proteins, hormones |
| mitosis | repair, replace and growth |
| interphase | cells spend about 90 percent of their life in interphase replicated dna 2 complete sets of chromosomes that must be distributed equally |
| prokaryote | doesnt have a nucleus |
| eukaryote | has a nucleus |
| 3 main jobs of cells | 1. make energy 2. make proteins 3. make more cells |
| cell membrane | contols what enters and leaves the cell, signals from other cells phospholopd bilayer |
| cytoplasm | holds organelles in place |
| vacuole and vesticle | storage and transports |
| lysosomes | recycle and clean up, digest |
