-form ______ (reproductive cells)

Definition

Cell division allows organisoms to:

-reproduce asexually (binary fission)

-grow

-repair or replace tissue

-form gametes (reproductive cells)
Term
Explain the structure of a chromosome.
Definition

-long, thin strand of DNA, usually not visible

- Before cell division,the chromosomes condense and become visible

-At cell division, each chromosome consist of two chromatids attatched at the centromere.

Term
Explain "Chromosome Number"
Definition

-Each organism has a characteristic # of chromosomes

-Human somatic cells (all cells but sperm or egg) have two cpies of 23 different chromosomes(46total). These are called homologous chromosomes.

Term
Explain "Gamete Chromosome Number"
Definition

Gamete have only half of the homologus paid (23 total), called haploid cells.

Term
Explain the sex chromosome pair (XX and XY)
Definition

XX is a female

XY is a male.

Term
What is cytokinesis?
Definition

The cytoplasm divides

-animals--belf of protein threads pinches the cell membrane in half

-plants--a cell plate forms between the two new cells

Term
What happens when control is lose during cell division?
Definition

Cancer is the result.

 

-A tumor is the uncontrolled growth of cells.
