| Chromosome | Coiled up DNA, shaped into rod like structures, carry an organisms genes |
| Chromatid | one have of a chromosome |
| Autosome | a chromsome that contains thousands of genes. |
| Homologous | the same size, shape, and same genetic info |
| Crossing over | the exchange of genetic material between chromsomes |
| G-phase | growth stage before cell division |
| S-phase | stage in which DNA is copied before cell division |
| Interphase | the combination of G and S phases where the cell spends most of its lifecycle |
| Diploid | having two copies of each chromsome |
| Haploid | having only one copy of each chromsome |
| Sex Chromosome | determines gender of an organism |
