Mitosis and Meiosis

The following terms & concepts will help you prepare for your test on "mitosis & meiosis". It is intended for 7th grade.

AB
ProphaseWhen centrioles first start to move towards opposite ends of a cell
TelophaseCytokinesis occurs at the end of this phase
ChromatidsWhat chromatin becomes when it gets thick & rod shaped
InterphasePhase in which a cell spends most of its life cycle
HalfComparison between daughter cells & parent cells during mitosis
MeiosisGamates are formed during this process
FourNumber of cells present at the end of meiosis
BodyCell contains the same number of chromosomes as the parent cell
ChromatinThreadlike material in the nucleus
Cell cycleInterphase, mitosis & cytokinesis
20# of chromosomes a daughter cell has after a cell with 40 chromosomes undergoes meiosis
Chromatinunraveled form of a chromosome
Daughter cellsProduced as a result of cell division
Cell PlateBecomes the cell wall
CytokinesisCytoplasm divides between the nuclei
GamatesReproductive cells
Reproductive cellsSperm and egg cells
CentromereHolds the 2 chromatids together
ZygoteSingle cell formed after fertilization
Somatic CellsBody cells
Spindle fibersCreated by centrioles
FertilizationWhen egg and sperm cells unite
23Number of chromosomes humans have
Parent cellOriginal cell that divides
SexualReproduction requiring 2 parent cells
EmbryoA developing organism
HapliodProduced after meiosis
