Cellular Divison

the random distribution of the pairs of genes on different chromosomes to the gametes

• spindle
• cell cycle
• independent assortment
• cancer

the random distribution of the pairs of genes on different chromosomes to the gametes

• spindle
• cell cycle
• independent assortment
• cancer

division of a parent cell into daughter cells

• centromere
• anaphase
• metaphase
• cell division

chromosomes that have the same sequence of genes, that have the same structured, and that pair during meisosis

• homologous chromosomes
• Chromatid
• crossing-over
• gamete

microtubule structure that separates chromosomes during mitosis

• cytokinesis
• spindle
• interphase
• binary fission

a segment of DNA on a chromosome that codes for a specific trait

• zygote
• chromosome
• sex chromosome
• gene

cell grows, prepares to divide, then divides to start growth process again; interphase + M phase

• cell cycle
• sexual reproduction
• diploid
• asexual reproduction

one of the pair of chromosomes that determine the sex of an individual

• chromosome
• fertilization
• sex chromosome
• crossing-over

last phase of mitosis, chromosome are in two new cells and nuclear membranes start to reform

• telophase
• interphase
• prophase
• metaphase

reproduction that does not involve the union of gametes and in which a single parent produces offspring that are genetically identical to the parent

• sexual reproduction
• clone
• meiosis
• asexual reproduction
