Definition
| genetically identical offspring |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| 2 parents contribute genetic info to create a unique offspring |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| Division of somatic cells (diploid) |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| chromatin condense to form double armed chromosomes attached at centromere, nuclear envelope breaks down, centrioles/spindle fibers form |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| chromosomes line up across middle of cell, spindle fibers connect to each centromere |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| Fibers pull apart chromatids into single armed chromosomes and move towards poles of cell |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| chromosomes -> chromatin, nuclear envelope reforms around chromosomes |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| splits cytoplasm in half, thus splitting cell in two (animal – cleavage furrow, plant – cell plate forms) |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| Creation of gametes (haploid) |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| duplicate chromosomes (haploid -> diploid) |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| chromatic -> chromosomes, homologous pairs come together to form tetrads, point where the 2 chromosomes overlapped – crossing over point |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| tetrads line up in the center of cell, fibers attach to centromere |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| fiber pulls apart tetrads -> double armed chromosomes |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| nuclear envelope reforms, fiber breaks down, chromatin recondenses |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| 2 daughter cells created -> HAPLOID cells |
|

|
Definition
| chromosomes -> chromatin, nuclear envelope reforms around chromosomes |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| splits cytoplasm in half, thus creating FOUR different cells, all HAPLOID |

Term
|
Definition
| Fusion of sperm and egg cell to create zygote |
|
|
Term
| Similarities between Mitosis and Meiosis |
|
Definition
does DNA replication, division, same basic cycle (metaphase, anaphase, telophase, cytokinesis) |
