Term
DNA
Definition
THE GENETIC MATERIAL FOUND IN ALL LIVING CELLS THAT CONTAINS THE INFORMATION NEEDED FOR AN ORGANISM TO GROW, MAINTAIN ITSELF AND REPRODUCE; DEOXYRIBONUCLEIC ACID ADN [image]
Term
CHROMOSOME
Definition
THE PHYSICAL STRUCTURE IN A CELL THAT CONTAINS A CELL'S GENETIC MATERIAL CROMOSOMA [image]
Term
CELL CYCLE
Definition
THE NORMAL SEQUENCE OF GROWTH, MAINTENENCE AND DIVISION IN A CELL CICLO CELULAR [image]
Term
INTERPHASE
Definition
THE PERIOD IN THE CELL CYCLE WHERE THE CELL GROWS, MAINTAINS ITSELF AND PREPARES FOR DIVISION

INTERFASE
Term
MITOSIS

Term
CYTOKINESIS
Definition
THE DIVISION OF A PARENT CELL'S CYTOPLASM FOLLOWING MITOSIS

CITOCINESIS
Term
ASEXUAL REPRODUCTION
Definition
THE PROCESS BY WHICH A SINGLE ORGANISM PRODUCES OFFSPRING THAT HAVE THE SAME GENETIC MATERIAL

REPRODUCCION ASEXUAL
Term
BINARY FISSION
Definition
A FORM OF ASEXUAL REPRODUCTION BY WHICH SOME SINGLE-CELLED ORGANISMS REPRODUCE. THE GENETIC MATERIAL IS COPIED AND ONE CELL DIVIDES INTO TWO INDEPENDENT COPIES THAT ARE EACH A COPY OF THE ORIGINAL CELL. PROKARYOTES, SUCH AS BACTERIA, REPRODUCE BY BINARY FISSION. FISION BINARIA [image]
Term
REGENERATION
Definition
IN SOME ORGANISMS, THE PROCESS BY WHICH CERTAIN CELLS PRODUCE NEW TISSUE GROWTH AT THE SITE OF A WOUND OR LOST LIMB; ALSO A FORM OF ASEXUAL REPRODUCTION REGENERACION [image]
