Mitosis and Meiosis ( 20 Terms)

A chromosome that contains genes for characteristics not related to the sex of an organism (in humans' pairs #1-22)

• cell cycle

• binary fission

• autosome

• diploid

asexual reproduction where 1 cell divides into 2

• cell cycle

• autosome

• binary fission

• gamete

NGSS.MS-LS3-2

series of events that take place in a cell leading to its division and duplication. Has 3 main phases: interphase, nuclear division, and cytokinesis.

• centromere

• gamete

• haploid

• cell cycle

Tags

NGSS.HS-LS1-4

Region of condensed chromosomes where spindle fibers attach during mitosis and meiosis.

• chromatid

• centromere

• crossing over

• cytokinesis

Tags

NGSS.HS-LS1-4

Single piece of DNA, contains genes that code for traits.

• Crossing over

• chromosomes

• gene

• haploid

Tags

NGSS.HS-LS3-1

One half of duplicated chromosomes, joined at the centromere.

• Chromatid

• crossing over

• telophase

• diploid

Tags

NGSS.HS-LS1-4

An exchange of genetic material between homologous chromosomes during anaphase 1 of meiosis, causes genetic variability.

• sex cell

• gamete

• crossing over

• cytokinesis

Tags

NGSS.HS-LS3-2

Final phase of cell cycle, where the cytoplasm divides

• gamete

• haploid

• dilploid

• cytokinesis

Tags

NGSS.HS-LS1-4

A cell with 2 copies of each chromosome, one from the egg and one from the sperm (represented by 2n) example=in human body cells 2n=46

• diploid

• haploid

• interphase

• somatic

The process where DNA makes an identical copy of itself.

• Gamete

• egg

• fertile

• DNA replication
