Term
chromosome
Definition
rod shaped, made of DNA & proteins
Term
histones
Definition
the DNA in eukaryotic cells that tightly wraps around protein
Term
chromatid
Definition
Half a chromosome
Term
centromere
Definition
holds the chromatids together until division
Term
chromatin
Definition
loosely coiled DNA protien
Term
Sex chromosomes
Definition
determines sex, and carries genes. X or Y
Term
autosomes
Definition
the none sex chromosomes
Term
homologous chromosomes
Definition
copies of autosomes gotten from parents
Term
kayrotype
Definition
photomicrograph of chromoscoms (photo)
Term
diploid
Definition
cells w/ 2 sets of chromosomes, 2 sex chromosomes. all cells( exapt sperm + egg) are diploid. --2n
Term
hapliod
Definition
sperm + egg cells-- 1n
Term
Binary fission
Definition
division of a prokaryotype call into 2 offspring cells
Term
Mitosis
Definition
new cells w. identical genetic material of orgianal l cell-- occurs in organisms unger-going growth, development, repair or asexual reproduction
Term
asexual reproduction
Definition
production of offspring from 1 parent
Term
meiosis
Definition
cell division-- occurs durring formation of gametes-- reduces chromosome number by half.
Term
gametes
Definition
hapliod reproductive cells
Term
interphase
Definition
time between cell division
Term
cytokinesis
Definition
division of the cell's cytoplasm
Term
prophase
Definition
first phase of mitosis
Term
metaphase
Definition
second phase of mitosis
Term
ataphase
Definition
third phase of mitosis
Term
telophase
Definition
fourth phase of mitosis
Term
spindle fibers
Definition
made of microtubules -- radiate from centrosomes in prophase
Term
G 1
Definition
When protiens deside weither or not to divid (if heathy will divide)
Term
G 2
Definition
Dna repairs enzymes-- if this happens correctly cell will divide
Term
synapsis
Definition
pairing of homologous chromosomes
Term
tetrad
Definition
pair of homologous chromosomes
Term
crossing over
Definition
when chromotids break off and attach to other chromotids on the homologous chromosome
Term
independent assortment
Definition
random seperating of the homologous chromosomes
Term
spermatogenesis
Definition
production of sperm cells
Term
Oogenesis
Definition
production of mature egg cells, or ova
Term
polar bodies
Definition
other three products of meiosis
Term
sexual reproduction
Definition
production of offspring through meiosis w/ union of sperm and mature egg
