mitosis modified
| What takes place in the human body? | mitosis |
| Body cells are also called _____________ | somatic cells |
| This produces daughter cells that are identical to the parents | mitosis |
| What is uncoiled Strands of DNA are called? | chromatin |
| These are made of coiled chromatin and contain genes | chromosomes |
| This is segments of DNA on a chromosome that codes for a certain trait? | genes |
| One part of a duplicated chromosome | chromatin |
| Attaches sister chromatic to each other | centromere |
| Chromosome pairs that are similar in structure and contain information for the same genes | homologous chromosomes |
| Each body cell has this many chromosomes | 46 |
| Cells that contain all homologous pairs of chromosomes are ________________ | diploid |
| Chromosomes in the form of chromatin and organelles replicate | interphase |
| Chromatin coils into chromosomes...each chromosome is now made up of 2 chromatids joined by centromere | prophase |
| Nuclear membrane disappears | prophase |
| Centrioles and spindle fibers form | prophase |
| Chromosomes move to center of the cell | metaphase |
| Chromosomes divide and chromatids separate | anaphase |
| Chromatids are pulled to opposite sides by spindle fibers | anaphase |
| Centrioles and spindle fibers disappear | telophase |
| Chromatids unwind back into chromatin | telophase |
| Nuclear membrane reforms | telophase |
| Cytoplasm in parent cell divides/2 daughter are made | cytokinesis |
