| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| Chromatin | The DNA and proteins in the nucleus of a non-dividing cell "uncoilded and spread out" |
| Chromosomes | The DNA and proteins in a divided cell coiled and rod shaped. |
| DNA | Stores information, organic compound, polymer, mad of monomers. |
| Prokaryotic Cell | No nucleus, DNA free floating "one circular" |
| Humans have how many Chromosomes | 46 (23 pairs) |
| Sex chromosomes | Determine the sex in humans. |
| Autosomes | Chromosomes other than sex chromosomes. Humans have 22 pairs. |
| Homologous chromosomes | Chromosomes that are the same |
| Karyotype | Photo micrograph of chromosome of a dividing cell. |
| Asexual | without sex |
| Cell Cycle | Set of events that make up life of a cell. |
| Interphase | Period of the cell cycle between cell division. Normal cell activity, cell grows, DNA duplicates. |
| Mitosis | Part of the eukaryotiuc cell division during which the cell nucleus divides. |
| Cytokinesis | Division of cytoplasm during cell division. (fluid) |
| Prophase | Nuclear membrane breaksdown, DNA coils, spindle fibers form. |
| Metaphase | Chromosomes are lined up at the EQUATOR. Centromeres attached to spindle fibers. |
| Anaphase | Centromere duplicates and splits. Sister chromatids migrate to opposite poles. |
| Telophase | Nuclear membrane reforms. DNA uncoils. |
| Meiosis | Process of nuclear division that reduces the number of chromosomes in a new cell to half the original number. |
| Asexual | No joining of sex cells, so without sex. |
| Sexual | Joining of sex cells, so with sex. |
| Human Chromosome # | 46 |
| Human Homologous Chromsome # | 23 |
| Fertilization | Joining of gametes |
| Zygote | The resulting body formed by the joining. |
| Diploid # | Cell with a full set of chromosomes. |
| Haploid # | Half of the dipiold number. |
| Spermatogensis | Process where sperm is produced in testes with half chromosome number |
| Oogenesis | The process where eggs are produced in the ovaries. |
