| A | B |
|---|
| anaphase | the chromosomes separate |
| diploid number | number of chromosomes in body cells |
| haploid number | number of chromosomes in gametes. |
| metaphase | the chromosomes move to the cell’s equator. |
| homologous chromosome | matching chromosomes. One chromosome in the pair is maternal, the other paternal. |
| interphase | a period of cell growth and development before cell division |
| prophase | The chtomosomes become visible and separate into homologous pairs, then split into chromatids. |
| spindle fiber | fibres involves in the movement of chromosomes during cell division. |
| mitosis | produces cells with the same number and type of chromosomes as the original cell. |
| telophase | Follows anaphase. |
| chromatid | one of two identical parts of a chromosome |
| centromere | part of chromosome where sister chromatids are attached |
| karyotype | a picture of an individual’s chromosomes |
| centriole | a structure that appears during mitosis in animal cells |
| sex chromosome | a chromosome that determines sex |
| cell cycle | the events of cell division includes interphase, mitosis, and cytokinesis |
| meiosis | Produces cells with half the number of chromosomes of the initial cell. |
| cytokinesis | the division of the cytoplasm |
