Term | Definition |
---|---|
Mitosis; | cell division produced by asexual reproduction( there is no difference) in which a cell divides it nucleus and contents. |
Cell cycle | continous growth and division of the cells. |
Cell division; | is a complex series of changes in the nucleus of the cell resulting into new cells. |
Replication; | is where interface occurs and the chromosomes in the nucleus will double. |
Chromatin; | thin, twisted thread of a loose combination of DNA and proteins that is present during interphase. |
Chromatid; | rod-shape that are one half of a duplicated chromosome. |
Chromosome; | short and thick continous thread of DNA that consists of numerous genes and regulatory information. |
Centromere; | region of condensed chromosome that looks pinched; where spindle fibers attach during meiosis and mitosis. |
Cytokinesis; | is the division of the cytoplasm. |
Centrioles; | small cylinder-shaped organelle made of protein tubes arranged in a circle; aids mitosis. |
Daughter nuclei; | the two nuclei that results from the division of a single nucleus. |
Clone; | genetically identical copy of a single gene or an entire organism. |
Diploid (number); | the number of chromosomes present in the body cells of an organism. |
Asexual reproduction; | there is no difference in this reproduction and is needed only one parent. |
Interphase; | is the resting phase which occurs between mitotic cycles, the cell grows and replicates here. |
Cell plate; | is kind of a wall that separates the two new daughter cells |
Binary fission; | equal division of the cytoplasm. |
Grafting; | cutting and splicing two different plants. |
Cancer; | rapid, uncontrolable cell division of abnormal cells. |
Prophase; | first phase of mitosis where chromosomes are visible and the nuclear membrane disappears. |
