mitosis & meiosis vocabulary

Until the sister chromatids separate, they are held together by a special structure

• daughter cells

• centromere

• cytokinesis

• chromatin

A chromosome is made up of two identical coiled strands of DNA

• centromere

• cell cycle

• daughter cells

• sister chromatids

Following mitosis, the division of the cytoplasm occurs.

• cytokinesis

• itnterphase

• telophase

• metaphase

Most cells go through a process of growth, development and division

• the cell cycle

• mitosis

• cytokinesis

Mitosis and cytokinesis creates two identical cells

• daughter cells

• sister chromatids

• parent cells

• offspring cells

These structures can push and pull the chromosomes in different directions

• centromere

• spindle fibers

• sister chromatids

• daughter cells

These cells are considered body cells like skin, hair, and cheek.

• Somatic Cells

• Sex Cells

• Germ

• Gametes

The cells are sex cells like sperm and egg.

• Somatic Cells

• Germ Cells

• Intestinal Cells

• Brain Cells

Sperm and egg cells are

• Somatic

• Diploid

• Gametes

• Body cells

These are two pairs of chromosomes at the same location

• Chromatin

• Sister Chromatids

• Homologous Chromosomes

• Twin DNA
