| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| metaphase II | duplicated chromosomes move to opposites end of cell; each centromer attaches to 2 spindle fibers |
| chromatids | duplicated chromosomes; one of two identical parts of a chromosome |
| anaphase i | chromosomes pulled to opposite ends of cell; 4th step in meiosis |
| metaphase | step 3 in mitosis; chromosomes line along center of cell; centromere attach to a spindle fiber |
| replication | occurs before cell division; process in which DNA forms exact duplicates of itself |
| haploid | cell that has half the number of chromosomes as body cells; total of 23 individiual chromosomes |
| mitosis | cell's nucleus divides into 2 new nuclei-one copy of DNA to each daughter cell; cells divide to form new body cells |
| anaphase | 4th step in mitosis; centromere splits; chromatids separate; each chromatid goes to separate sides of cell |
| diploid | body cells; have 23 pairs of chromosomes; 46 individual chromosomes; |
| cell cycle | the continuing growth and divsion process in cells; the sequence of events that occurs in a cell frommitosis to mitosis |
| cytokinesis | cell separates into 2 new cells; each daughter cell ends up with same number of chromosomes; last step of cell cycle |
| telophase I | spindle fibers disappear; nuclear membrane forms around chromosomes at each end |
| anaphase II | centromere divides; chromatids separate and move to opposite ends of cell |
| egg | female sex cells |
| meiosis II | begins with the 2 daughter cells from meiosis 1 going through a second division of the nucleus; in this process no chromosme replication; chromosome pairs split apart forming 4 daughter cells with half the number of chromosomes (single strands); chromatid |
| centromer | point at which each pair of chromatids is attached |
| centrioles | a rod shaped structure that appears during mitosis; is responsible for spindle formation and movement |
| gametes | reproductive cells; produced by meiosis; have half the number of chromosomes as body cells; called genome |
| prophase I | each duplicated chromosome comes near its similar duplicate; nuclear membrane disintegrates; spindle fibers form |
| fertilization | the joining of an egg and sperm |
| prophase | 2nd step in mitosis; DNA condense to form chromosomes; nuclear membrane disappears; spindle fibers form |
| prophase II | chromosomes and spindle fibers reappear |
| spindle fiber | develops in middle of prophase; aids in chromosome movement |
| telophase II | cytoplasm divides |
| sexual reporduction | combination of hereditary material of 2 parents to produce offspring with new hereditary material |
| sperm | male sex cell |
| telophase | step 5 in mitosis; nuclear membrane returns around each mass of chromosomes; cells begin to divide |
| zygote | a single cell that results from the joining of gametes |
| meiosis | produces haploid sex cells; process of cell division that forms sex cells, each has half the number of chromosomes as parent cell; requires 2 divisions of the nucleus to form gametes |
| interphase | step 1 of mitosis & meiosis; a period of growth and dvelopment; DNA breaks up in short chromosomes; each chromosome makes exact copy of self; each pairs stays attached in the middle (centromere) |
| daughter cells | the 2 new cells fromed during mitosis |
| meiosis I | cell divides, formining 2 daughter cells with chromosomes still in pairs; has steps like those in mitosis |
