Terms for Nuclear and Cell Division for NW 04-350

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
show the combination of DNA and protein. microscopists first used this term to describe the disorganized material in the nucleus before prophase, where individual chromosomes were not visible  
🗑
show the process of cell division after DNA replication in a prokaryotic cell  
🗑
show in diploid organisms, chromosomes exist in pairs that carry the same genes, but not necessarily the same alleles  
🗑
show a version of a gene, mutations create different alleles which may code for different versions (functional or not) proteins  
🗑
show a cell carrying two copies of each chromosomal set, carrying two members of a homologous pair  
🗑
show a cell carrying additional copies of all homologous sets beyond two, triploid, tetraploid, pentraploid, hexaploid etc.  
🗑
monoploid   show
🗑
haploid   show
🗑
show region on the chromosome where a consensus sequence is found that binds with proteins that allow two sister chromatids formed after replication to remain connected. the spindle fibers also attach here  
🗑
kinetochore   show
🗑
cell cycle   show
🗑
interphase   show
🗑
M phase   show
🗑
show events of prophase through telophase that begin with a cell with one nucleus and concludes with two nuclei at the end  
🗑
cytokinesis   show
🗑
show gap 1 or growth 1. substage of interphase where the cell grows, organelles accumulate, and metabolism of the cell occurs  
🗑
S   show
🗑
show gap 2 or growth 2. substage of interphase when all the events of G1 take place but specific proteins needed for nuclear and cell division are synthesized  
🗑
show the two halves of a replicated chromosome, still connected at the centromere. not the same thing as a homologous pair. sister chromatids are pulled apart from each other in anaphase of mitosis and anaphase II of meiosis  
🗑
show first stage of nuclear division, typified by compaction of DNA, breakdown of the nuclear envelope, migration of the centrosomes and formation of the spindle  
🗑
condensins   show
🗑
show cytoskeletal structure made of microtubules (tubulin) that organizes the chromosomes during nuclear division and serves as the highway over which they move  
🗑
show protein structure around which the spindle will anchor itself. there will be one centrosome at each end (pole) of the cell. many centrosomes contain a centriole (not as common in plants)  
🗑
prometaphase   show
🗑
show substage of nuclear division when replicated chromosomes line up in the middle of the cell on the metaphase plate  
🗑
show substage of nuclear division when genetic material is moving in opposite directions using the spindle as a highway. may be separation of sister chromatids, or homologous chromosomes depending upon if it is mitosis or anaphase I and II of meiosis  
🗑
show substage of nuclear division where new nuclear envelopes form and the chromosomes begin to relax due to release of condensins  
🗑
meiosis I   show
🗑
show second cycle of nuclear division (pro thru telo) leading to the second meiotic division (cytokinesis  
🗑
show event unique to prophase I when homologous replicated chromosomes merge together into a single structure. this is when recombination (crossing over) will occur  
🗑
show a structure formed due to the synapsis of two replicated chromosomes, composed of four total chromatids  
🗑
show rest stage between the first meiotic division and the beginning of prophase II. DNA replication does not occur during interkinesis  
🗑
show the process of separating genetic material into new nuclei. occurs during anaphase  
🗑
genetic variation   show
🗑


   

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.
