Mitosis
liv/env
| Term | Definition |
|---|---|
| Mitosis | A type of cell division that results in two daughter cells each having the same number of chromosomes as the parent cell. |
| Cell Cycle | The growth and division of a cell. |
| Cell Division | The division of a cell into two daughter cells with the same genetic material. |
| Replication | The action of copying or reproducing something. |
| Chromatin | is a macromolecule made up of DNA or RNA and proteins. |
| Chromatid | is one-half of two identical copies of a replicated chromosome. |
| Chromosome | They carry the genetic information. Chromosomes are made up of DNA and protein combined as chromatin |
| Centromere | is the structure in a chromosome that holds together the two chromatids |
| Cytokinesis | the cytoplasmic division of a cell at the end of mitosis or meiosis,bringing the separation into two daughter cells |
| Centrioles | a small cell organelle seen near the nucleus in the cytoplasm of most eukaryotic cells |
| Daughter Nuclei | The two nuclei that result from the division of a single nucleus |
| Clone | Is an identical copy to a cell or organism. |
| Diploid(number) | is a cell that contains two sets of chromosomes. |
| Asexual Reproduction | A type of reproduction in which the offspring comes from a single organism. |
| Interphase | is the resting phase of successive mitotic cell division. |
| Cell Plate | is the structure found inside the dividing cells of plants and some algae. |
| Binary Fission | The fully grown parent cell splits into two halves, producing two new cells. After replicating its genetic material, the parent cell divides into two equal sized daughter cells. |
| Grafting | A portion of body tissue that is surgically removed from the donor, and then is implanted or transplanted usually to replace damaged tissue in the person's body. |
| Cancer | is a disease caused by uncontrolled cell division and is made up of abnormal cells. |
| Prophase | is the first stage of cell division during which the chromosomes become visible as paired chromatids. Then the nucleolus and nuclear membrane disappear |
