mitosis modified
What takes place in the human body? | mitosis |
Body cells are also called _____________ | somatic cells |
This produces daughter cells that are identical to the parents | mitosis |
What is uncoiled Strands of DNA are called? | chromatin |
These are made of coiled chromatin and contain genes | chromosomes |
This is segments of DNA on a chromosome that codes for a certain trait? | genes |
One part of a duplicated chromosome | chromatin |
Attaches sister chromatic to each other | centromere |
Chromosome pairs that are similar in structure and contain information for the same genes | homologous chromosomes |
Each body cell has this many chromosomes | 46 |
Cells that contain all homologous pairs of chromosomes are ________________ | diploid |
Chromosomes in the form of chromatin and organelles replicate | interphase |
Chromatin coils into chromosomes...each chromosome is now made up of 2 chromatids joined by centromere | prophase |
Nuclear membrane disappears | prophase |
Centrioles and spindle fibers form | prophase |
Chromosomes move to center of the cell | metaphase |
Chromosomes divide and chromatids separate | anaphase |
Chromatids are pulled to opposite sides by spindle fibers | anaphase |
Centrioles and spindle fibers disappear | telophase |
Chromatids unwind back into chromatin | telophase |
Nuclear membrane reforms | telophase |
Cytoplasm in parent cell divides/2 daughter are made | cytokinesis |
