chapter 8- cell reproduction
| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| one of the stages of mitosis and meiosis, during which all of the chromosomes move to the cell's equator | metaphase |
| the division of the cytoplasma of a cell; cytokinesis follows the division of the cell's nucleus by mitosis or meiosis | cytokinesis |
| a phase of mitosis and meiosis in which the chromosomes separate | anaphase |
| in eukaryotic cells, a process of cell division that forms two new nuclei, each of which has the same number of chromosomes | mitosis |
| a period between two mitotic or meiotic divisions during which the cell grows, copies its DNA, and synthesizes proteins | interphase |
| the final stage of mitosis or meiosis, during which a nuclear membrane forms around each set of new chromosomes | telophase |
| the life cycle of a cell; in eukaryotes, it consists of a cell-growth period in which DNA is synthesized and a cell-division period in which mitosis takes place | cell cycle |
| the first stage of mitosis and meiosis in cell division; characterized by the condensation of the chromosomes | prophase |
| a form of asexual reproduction in single-celled organisms by which one cell divides into two cells of the same size | binary fission |
