|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Mitosis | A type of cell division.
🗑
|

| Daughter cell | Cells formed when a cell undergoes cell division by mitosis.
🗑
|
||||
| Meiosis | A type of cell division that results in four daughter cells each with half the number of chromosomes of the parent cell.

| Chromatid | Each of the two threadlike strands into which a chromosome divides longitudinally during cell division.
🗑
|
||||
| Sister Chromatids | Are pieces of identical DNA that are crucial in the process of cell replication and division.
🗑
|
||||
| Chromosomes | Where the DNA is located.
🗑
|
||||
| Homologous chromosomes | Pairs one from each parent that are similar in length, gene position, and centromere location.
🗑
|
||||
| Gene | Transferred from a parent to offspring and is held to determine some characteristic of the offspring.
🗑
|
||||
| Karyotype | The number and visual appearance of the chromosomes in the cell nuclei.
🗑
|

| Centromere | Where the microtubules of the spindle attach to the chromosomes.
🗑
|
||||
| Centrosome | Contains the centrioles.
🗑
|
||||
| Aster | A star shaped structure formed during division of the nucleus of an animal cell.
🗑
|
||||
| Spindle fibers | Any of a network of filaments that collectively form a mitotic spindle.
🗑
|
||||
| Inter phase | Contains of G1 , M, and G2
🗑
|
||||
| Prophase | Comes after Inter phase
🗑
|
||||
| Metaphase | After prophase
🗑
|
||||
| Anaphase | After metaphase
🗑
|
||||
| Telophase | After anaphase
🗑
|
||||
| Cytokinesis | During telophase
🗑
|
||||
| nuclear envelope | Membrane which surrounds the genetic material
🗑
|
||||
| Kinetochore Fiber | Protein structure on chromatin where the spindle fibers attach during cell division
🗑

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.
