Differentiation
The process by which a cell becomes specialized (gets a specific job) in order to perform a specific function.

A way to simplify complex numbers
Mitosis
A type of cell division that results in:
two daughter cells that each have the same number and kind of chromosomes as the parent nucleus, typical of ordinary tissue growth and repair.
A process of cell division that results in two identical daughter cells.
A type of cellular respiration.
A method of protein synthesis.
A phase of meiosis.
Haploid
Half of the double set of chromosomes (23 in humans)
A full set of chromosomes (46 in humans)
The total number of chromosomes in a somatic cell
A type of cell division that produces two identical cells
Gamete
The name we give to sex cells (sperm and egg cells)
A type of plant cell involved in photosynthesis
A term for any type of cell in the human body
A type of bacteria that reproduces asexually
Meiosis
A type of cell division that results in four daughter cells, each with half the number of chromosomes of the parent cell, as in the production of gametes (sex cells - sperm and egg cells)
A type of cell division that results in four daughter cells each with half the number of chromosomes of the parent cell.
A process that occurs only in prokaryotic organisms.
A method of asexual reproduction in plants.
A stage of the cell cycle where DNA is replicated.
Diploid
Full set of chromosomes (23 from mom and 23 from dad = 46)
Half set of chromosomes (23 total)
A single set of chromosomes (23 from either parent)
A genetic condition with an abnormal number of chromosomes
Gene Expression
The process whereby gene information helps create a protein
The process by which information from a gene is used to synthesize a functional gene product, typically a protein.
A method of DNA replication.
The process of cell division in eukaryotic cells.
The mechanism of RNA degradation.
Regulate
To control a process so that it operates properly.
To control or maintain the rate of a process
To ignore or overlook something
To create or invent something new
To destroy or eliminate completely
Protein Function
The protein shape will determine the function.
The functions performed by proteins include catalyzing metabolic reactions, DNA replication, and transporting molecules.

A cell that is well suited to do its job
A cell that can perform multiple functions
A cell that is identical to all other cells
A cell that is only found in plants
Fertilization
The process of cell division in plants
The fusing (joining) of the egg and sperm cell to create what will eventually be an embryo and then a baby
The development of a zygote into a fetus
The implantation of an embryo in the uterus
Chromosome
An organized form of DNA
Structure that carries genetic information
Type of protein in the cell
