22
Q

Chromosomes

A

Coiled structures made of DNA and proteins.

23
Q

Chromatin

A

When DNA is not coiled into chromosomes

24
Chromatids
DNA before cell division.
25
Centromere
A region that the chromatids are attached to
26
Genes
The genetic instructions inside a chromosome
27
Homologous chromosomes.
Chromosomes in a pair
28
What are the four phases of mitosis.
Prophase, metaphase, anaphase and telophase.
29
Asexual reproduction.
Involves a singe parent. | Offspring are identical to each other and to parent.
30
Sexual reproduction.
Involves two parents. | Offspring look similar but now identical
31
Gametes.
Reproductive cells. Haploids
32
Haploid.
Contains only half the chromosomes.
33
Fertilization
When two gametes unite.
34
Zygote
A fertilized cell. Diploid cell.
35
Diploid
Twice the number of chromosomes.
36
Meiosis.
Cell division when the number of chromosomes is reduced by half.
37
Gametogenesis
The development of haploid cells into gametes.
38
Crossing-over
The exchange of genetic material between non-sister chromatids.
39
Independent assortment.
When homologous chromosomes are randomly distributed to daughter cells during meiosis.
40
Life cycle.
The series of Events and life stages a organism goes through.
41
Cytokinesis
The final stage of cell division. When the cytoplasm splits in two
42
What are the three steps in binary fission.
1. DNA replication. 2. Chromosome segregation. 3. Cytokines.
43
Chromosome segregation.
When DNA moves to opposite ends of the cell.
44
Chromosomes are made of?
Chromatids.
45
Prophase.
Chromatin condenses to form chromosomes and nuclear membrane breaks down.
46
Metaphase.
Chromosomes line up in the middle of the cell.
47
Anaphase.
Sister chromosomes split.
48
Telophase.
The chromosomes unfold to form chromatid in the new cells.
49
How is a zygote made.
When two gametes unite.
50
Where in the cell does photosynthesis take place.
The chloroplasts.
51
How Is cell division different in prokaryotes and eukaryotes.
It's harder in eukaryotes because they have a nucleus.
52
Mitosis vs. meiosis.
``` Mitosis = when one cell divides into two cells both with an equal amount of chromosomes. Meiosis = one cell divides into four and all cells have half the amount of chromosomes. ```
