mitosis & meiosis

Quiz yourself by thinking what should be in each of the black spaces below before clicking on it to display the answer.
        Help!  

Term
Definition
Cytokinesis   the division of de cell cytoplasm that usually follows or meiotic division of de nucleus .  
🗑
Replication   to copy.  
🗑
Gametes   an egg or a sperm cell; a sex cell.  
🗑
Chromosomes   a structure in all living things of a single molecule of DNA bonded to various proteins and that carries the games .  
🗑
Haploid   single-simple.  
🗑
Gonad   an organ that produces gametes; a testis or ovary.  
🗑
Ovum   a mature female reproductive cell, especially of a human or other animal, that can divide to give rise to an embryo usually only after fertilization by a male cell.  
🗑
Polar bodies   each of the small cells that bud off from an oocyte at the two meiotic divisions and do not develop into ova.  
🗑
Mitosis   a type of cell division that results in two daughter cells each having the same number and kind of chromosomes as the parent nucleus, typical of ordinary tissue growth. Compare with meiosis.  
🗑
Sperm   A sperm is the male "gamete" or sex cell.  
🗑
Cell cycle   is the series of events that take place in a cell leading to its division and duplication of its DNA (DNA replication) to produce two daughter cells.  
🗑
Chromatid   each of the two threadlike strands into which a chromosome divides longitudinally during cell division. Each contains a double helix of DNA.  
🗑
Centromere   the point on a chromosome by which it is attached to a spindle fiber during cell division.  
🗑
Chromatin   the material of which the chromosomes of organisms other than bacteria (i.e., eukaryotes) are composed. It consists of protein, RNA, and DNA.  
🗑
Diploid   containing two complete sets of chromosomes, one from each parent. Compare with haploid.  
🗑
Interphase   the resting phase between successive mitotic divisions of a cell, or between the first and second divisions of meiosis.  
🗑
Crossing over   the exchange of genes between homologous chromosomes, resulting in a mixture of parental characteristics in offspring.  
🗑
Tetrad   a group or set of four.  
🗑
Synapsis   the fusion of chromosome pairs at the start of meiosis.  
🗑
Mitosis   a type of cell division that results in two daughter cells each having the same number and kind of chromosomes as the parent nucleus, typical of ordinary tissue growth. Compare with meiosis.  
🗑
Gametogenesis   the process in which cells undergo meiosis to form gametes.  
🗑


   

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.
