| Two Basic Steps of the Cell Cycle | Interphase and Mitosis |
| step related to growth | interphase |
| step related to division | mitosis |
| # of parents if reproduced a sexually | ONE |
| # of parents if reproduced sexually | TWO |
| Structure of a Chromosome | 2 Chromatids connected by a centromere |
| Three steps of the growth phase | G1, S, G2 |
| G1 | Intense cell growth, cell 2x in Size!! |
| S | DNA is synthesized, chromosomes replicate |
| G2 | Final Growth in prep for division |
| Which of the three steps of the growth phase is responsible for doubling the chromosomes, the size of the cell and prepping the cell for the division phase | S |
| What does the daughter cell recieve as a result of mitosis | an exact copy of chromosomes (diploid#) |
| 2n | diploid (full #) |
| n | haploid (half the #) |
| homologous chromosomes | chromosomes that are alike in genetic content and appearance |
| a cell with a homologous chromosomes | diploid |
| tetrad | homologous chromosomes twisted around eachother |
| "tetra" | four (ie. 4 chromatids in a tetrad) |
| sex cells | gamete |
| # chromosomes in a parent cell | diploid (46) |
| # chromosomes in a sex cell | haploid (23) |
