|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Mitosis | Process by which the hereditary material in the parent cell replicates and divides into two(2) identical daughter nuclei (cell). Mitosis is cell division produced by asexual reproduction, which means there is no variation (difference).
🗑
|
||||
| Diploid (number) | (genetics) an organism or cell having two sets of chromosomes or twice the haploid number 2 (n)
🗑
|
||||
| Chromosomes | a threadlike structure of nucleic acids and protein found in the nucleus of most living cells, carrying genetic information in the form of genes.
🗑
|
||||
| Interphase | (resting phase) which occurs between mitotic cycles. The cell grows and replicates here.
🗑
|
||||
| Crossing over | the exchange of genes between homologous chromosomes, resulting in a mixture of parental characteristics in offspring.
🗑
|
||||
| Anaphase | Chromosomes move to opposite poles
🗑
|
||||
| Haploid/Monoploid | term used to refer to a cell that contains only a single set of chromosomes and therefore only a single set of genes 23 chromosomes
🗑
|
||||
| Daughter nuclei | Daughter cells
🗑
|
||||
| Tetrad | A four-part structure that forms during the prophase of meiosis and consists of two homologous chromosomes, each composed of two sister chromatids.
🗑
|
||||
| Gametogenesis | the process in which cells undergo meiosis to form gametes.
🗑
|
||||
| Meiosis | cell division that produces reproductive cells in sexually reproducing organisms
🗑
|
||||
| Metaphase | ( after ) centromeres line up at the equator.
🗑
|
||||
| Cytokinesis | The cell membrane pinches in and the cytoplasm divides into two (2). This occurs in late anaphase or after telophase (during or after mitosis).
🗑
|
||||
| Disjunction | chromosomes move apart toward the opposite poles of the cell in anaphase I.
🗑
|
||||
| Variation | difference
🗑
|
||||
| Telophase | Last phase, begins when chromosomes reach the two poles. Everything that was done in prophase must be undone and there are two new daughter cells.
🗑
|
||||
| Replication | duplicating
🗑
|
||||
| Synapsis | the side by side pairing of homologous maternal and paternal chromosomes at the start of meiosis
🗑
|
||||
| Prophase | First phase, double chromosomes are visible.
🗑
|
||||
| Centrioles | Located near the nucleus and help to organize 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.
