A | B |
part of eukaryotic cell division in which the nucleus divides | mitosis |
cell division | cytokinesis |
one of two genetically identical chromosomes | chromatid |
area where the chromatids of a chromosome are attached | centromere |
time during cell cycle that is not mitosis G1, S Phase, and G2 | interphase |
Interphase and mitosis | cell cycle |
First phase of mitosis | prophase |
one of two tiny structures located in the cytoplasm of animal cells near the nuclear envelope | centriole |
Microtubule that helps separate chromosomes during mitosis and meiosis | spindle |
Second phase in mitosis where chromosomes meet in the middle | metaphase |
Third part of mitosis where chromosomes are moving away from the middle | anaphase |
cytokinesis - whole cell becomes two | cell division |
protein substance that regulates cell cycle in eukaryotic cells | cyclin |
the uncontrolled growth of cells | cancer |
Chromosomes that have alleles on chromosomes that code for same traits (eye color) | homologous |
Type of cell that has two sets of chromosomes (2N) body cells | diploid |
Type of cells that have one set of chromosomes (1N) sex cells | haploid |
Process where sex cells are produced | meiosis |
Structure in Prophase I where four chromosomes are loosely attached to each other - crossing over happens here | tetrad |
Process in which homologous chromosomes exchange portions of their crhomatids during meiosis | crossing-over |
