A | B |
Prophase | When centrioles first start to move towards opposite ends of a cell |
Telophase | Cytokinesis occurs at the end of this phase |
Chromatids | What chromatin becomes when it gets thick & rod shaped |
Interphase | Phase in which a cell spends most of its life cycle |
Half | Comparison between daughter cells & parent cells during mitosis |
Meiosis | Gamates are formed during this process |
Four | Number of cells present at the end of meiosis |
Body | Cell contains the same number of chromosomes as the parent cell |
Chromatin | Threadlike material in the nucleus |
Cell cycle | Interphase, mitosis & cytokinesis |
20 | # of chromosomes a daughter cell has after a cell with 40 chromosomes undergoes meiosis |
Chromatin | unraveled form of a chromosome |
Daughter cells | Produced as a result of cell division |
Cell Plate | Becomes the cell wall |
Cytokinesis | Cytoplasm divides between the nuclei |
Gamates | Reproductive cells |
Reproductive cells | Sperm and egg cells |
Centromere | Holds the 2 chromatids together |
Zygote | Single cell formed after fertilization |
Somatic Cells | Body cells |
Spindle fibers | Created by centrioles |
Fertilization | When egg and sperm cells unite |
23 | Number of chromosomes humans have |
Parent cell | Original cell that divides |
Sexual | Reproduction requiring 2 parent cells |
Embryo | A developing organism |
Hapliod | Produced after meiosis |
