Term	Definition
What are chromosomes?	Coiled chromatin; contains genes
What is Interphase?	Chromosomes (in the form of chromatin) and organelles replicate
What is Telophase?	Centrioles and spindle fibers disappear; Chromatids unwind into chromatin; Nuclear membrane reforms
How many chromosomes does a body (or somatic) cell have?	46 Chromosomes; 23 pairs of homologous pairs
What is Cytokinesis?	Cytoplasm in parent cell divides; there are now 2 daughter cells that have DNA identical to the parent cell; This leads to another phase of interphase where the cells divide again... It is a continuous cycle
What are genes?	Segments of DNA on a chromosome that codes for a certain hereditary trait
What is chromatin?	Uncoiled strand of DNA
What is mitosis?	Chromosomes multiply and divide when the cell reproduces daughter cells that are identical to the parent cell; cells divide
What does a centromore do?	Attaches the 2 chromatids together
What is a chromatid?	One part of a duplicated chromosome
What is Anaphase?	Chromosomes divide and chromatids separate; Chromosomes are pulled to opposite sides pulled by spindle fibers
Where does Mitosis occur?	Human body (or somatic) cells; this is every cell except the egg and the sperm
What is Metaphase?	Chromosomes move to the center of the cell
What are diploid cells?	They contain all homologous pairs of chromosomes
What is Prophase?	Chromatin coils into chromosomes; In animal cells centrioles appear at the sides of the cell; Spindle fibers form
What are homologous pairs?	Chromosome pairs that are structurally similar and contain information for same genes
What are the 6 stages of cell division?	Interphase, Prophase, Metaphase, Anaphase, Telophase, Cytokinesis
