Cell Division Vocab Flashcards
(18 cards)
1
Q
Metaphase
A
- Chromosomes attach by centromeres to spindle fibers.
- Chromosomes line up in the middle of cell
2
Q
Prophase
A
- Chromatin coils into chromosomes
- Nuclear envelope disappears
- Centrioles move to poles
- Spindle fibers begin to form
3
Q
Interphase
A
- Cell grows and duplicates contents other than chromosomes
- Cell copies chromosomes
- Cell grows and checks copied chromosomes.
4
Q
Anaphase
A
- Centrioles split
- a sister chromatids are pulled to opposite ends of the cell
5
Q
Telephase
A
- Chromatids reach poles
- Nuclear envelope reappears
- Spindle fibers disappear
6
Q
PMAT
A
Prophase, metaphase, anaphase, and telophase.
7
Q
Mitosis
A
- A type of cell division that produces two identical daughter cells from a single cell
8
Q
Meiosis
A
- A type of cell division that produces gametes, or sex cells, in sexually reproducing organisms
9
Q
Independent Assortment
A
- Does it make its own mixtape?
10
Q
Synapses
A
- Copies pair up
11
Q
Ploidy
A
- # of chromosomes
12
Q
Gametes
A
- A reproductive cell of an animal or plant
13
Q
Metaphase l
A
- When homologous chromosomes line up along the equator of the cell.
14
Q
Bivalents
A
- A pair of homologous chromosomes in synapsis during meiosis, particularly at Prophase I
15
Q
Unique Variations
A
- When cells divide during meiosis, homologous chromosomes are randomly distributed to daughter cells, and different chromosomes segregate independently of each other.
16
Q
Haploid
A
- A haploid organism or cell.
- The presence of a single set of chromosomes in an organism’s cells
17
Q
Diploid
A
- The presence of two complete sets of chromosomes in an organisms cells, with each parent contributing a chromosomes to each pair.
18
Q
