Question
Answer
Define Mitosis.   A type of cell division that results in two daughter cells each the same as the parent nucleus, typical of ordinary tissue growth.  
🗑
Define Meiosis.   A type of cell division that results in two daughter cells each with half the chromosome number of the parent cell.  
🗑
Define Interphase.   The resting phase between successive mitotic divisions of a cell, or between the first and second divisions of meiosis.  
🗑
Define Prophase.   The first stage of cell division, before Metaphase, during which the chromosomes become visible as paired Chromatids and the nucleus dissapears  
🗑
Define Metaphase.   The second stage of cell division during which the chromosomes become attached to the spindle fibers.  
🗑
Define Anaphase.   The stage of meiotic or mitotic cell division in which the chromosomes move away from one another to opposite poles of the spindle fibers.  
🗑
Define Telephase.   The final phase of cell division, between Anaphase and Interphase, in which the Chromatids or chromosomes move to opposite ends of the cell.  
🗑
Define Sister Chromatids.   Sister chromatids are 2 identical copies of a chromatin connected by a centromere. Compare sister chromatids to homologous chromosomes  
🗑
Define Centromere.   The point on a chromosome by which it is attached to a spindle fiber during cell division.  
🗑
Define Spindle Fiber.   In cell biology, the spindle fibers is the structure that separates the chromosomes into the daughter cells during cell division.  
🗑
Define Centriol   A minute cylindrical organelle near the nucleus in animal cells, occurring in pairs and involved in the development of spindle fibers  
🗑
Define Sexual Reproduction   The production of new living organisms by combining genetic information from two individuals of different types  
🗑
Define Sperm   The male reproductive cell; the male gamete; "a sperm is mostly a nucleus surrounded by little other cellular material"  
🗑
Define Eggs    
🗑
Define Fertilization    
🗑
Define zygote    
🗑
Define Diploid    
🗑
Define Haploid    
🗑


   

Review the information in the table. When you are ready to quiz yourself you can hide individual columns or the entire table. Then you can click on the empty cells to reveal the answer. Try to recall what will be displayed before clicking the empty cell.
 
To hide a column, click on the column name.
 
To hide the entire table, click on the "Hide All" button.
 
You may also shuffle the rows of the table by clicking on the "Shuffle" button.
 
Or sort by any of the columns using the down arrow next to any column heading.
If you know all the data on any row, you can temporarily remove it by tapping the trash can to the right of the row.
