G1+S+G2 (part eukaryotic cell division cycle)
Interphase
DNA that is closely associated with a special class of proteins, the histones to form tightly packed _______.
Chromosomes
Cell division (mitosis + cytokinesis)-(part eukaryotic cell division cycle)
M-phase
DNA replication (part eukaryotic cell division cycle)
S-phase (synthesis)
Name 2: Cell growth (part eukaryotic cell division cycle)
G1 & G2 (Gap 1&2)

Region of chromosomes in which sister chromatids are joined (also present between DNA replication)
Centromere
Stable ends of linear chromosomes
Telomeres
At times, a chromosome consists of _____, or other times consists of ______.
Single, two (sister)
Period between cell divisions, cell grows, develops and functions. Critical events necessary for cell division, also takes place.
Interphase
Active cell division. Mitosis: process of nuclear division. Cytokinesis or cytoplasmic division.
Mitotic phase
Prior to cell division, ______ condenses into visible chromosome due to the tightening of interactions between DNA and ____ proteins (histones).

Sequence that encodes a trait is called ______
DNA
One copy of genetic material subdivided into chromosome
Haploid (N)
Two copies of genetic material subdivided into chromosomes.
Diploid (2N)
Are chromosomes with identical length and centromere location
