Cell Reproduction

TermDefinition
Asexual reproduction Process of reproduction involving a single parent that results in offspring that are genetically identical to the parent
Cell cycle Series of events in which a cell grows, prepares for division, and divides to form two daughter cells
Mitosis Part of eukaryotic cell division during which the cell nucleus divides
Prophase First stage in mitosis where the chromosomes condense and the nuclear membrane brakes down
Metaphase Second stage in mitosis where the chromosomes line up down the middle of the cell
Anaphase Third phase in mitosis where the chromosomes move towards opposite poles (ends) of the cell
Telophase Final phase in mitosis where the nucleus reforms and chromosomes relax
Cytokinesis Division of cell after mitosis
Chromosome Threadlike structure within the nucleus that contains genetic information that is passed on from one generation to the next
Cancer Uncontrolled cell growth
Mutation Change in the genetic material of a cell
Carcinogen Substance capable of causing cancer
Tumor Mass of rapidly dividing cells that can damage surrounding tissue
Apoptosis The process of programmed cell death
Meiosis Process in which the number of chromosomes per cell is cut in half through the separation of homologous chromosomes in a diploid cell; creates gametes
Independent assortment Genes for different traits can segregate independently during the formation of gametes
Recombination The exchange of genetic material between different organisms which leads to production of offspring with combinations of traits that differ from those found in either parent
Sexual reproduction Type of reproduction in which cells from two parents unite to form the first cell of a new organism
Homologous chromosomes Chromosomes of the same size with the same genes
Segregation Separation of alleles during gamete formation
Crossing over Process in which homologous chromosomes exchange portions of their chromatids during meiosis
Gamete Sex cell
Fertilization Process in sexual reproduction in which male and female reproductive cells join to form a new cell
