Biology: Chapter 8.2

Chapter 8.2 Vocabulary

TermDefinition
Binary Fission the division of a prokaryotic cell into two offspring cells
Mitosis results in new cells with genetic material that is identical to the genetic material of the original cell; occurs in organisms undergoing growth, development, repair, or asexual reproduction
Asexual Reproduction the production of offspring from one parent
Meiosis occurs during the formation of gametes; reduces chromosome number by half in new cells
Gamete haploid reproductive cells
Interphase the time between cell divisions
Cytokinesis the division of the cell's cytoplasm
Prophase the first phase of mitosis; begins with the shortening and tight coiling of DNA into rod-shaped chromosomes that can be seen with a light microscope
Spindle Fiber made of microtubules; radiates from the centrosomes in preparation for metaphase
Metaphase the second phase of mitosis; chromosomes are easier to identify by using a microscope than during other phases
Anaphase chromatids of each chromosome separate at the centromere and slowly move, centromere first, toward opposite poles of the dividing cell
Telophase after the chromosomes reach opposite ends of the cell, the spindle fibers disassemble, and the chromosomes return to a less tightly coiled chromatin state
Cell Plate vesicles from the Golgi apparatus join together at the midline of the dividing cell to form this

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.
