Terms in this set (47)
Mitosis results in daughter cells with identical DNA
Meiosis produces non-identical daughter cells (gametes:
sperm and egg cells)
Genome All the DNA in a cell constitutes the cell's
, Chromosomes DNA molecules in a cell are packaged into
Somatic Cells (non-reproductive cells) have two sets of
chromosomes (1 from each parent)
Gametes (reproductive cells: sperm and eggs) have half as
many chromosomes as somatic cells
Chromatin a complex of DNA and protein that condenses
during cell division
Centromere where the two chromatids are most closely attached
Mitosis, the division of the nucleus Eukaryotic cell division consists of:
Cytokinesis, the division of the
cytoplasm
Mitotic (M) phase the dividing phase (mitosis and cytokinesis)
Interphase Period of time a cell hasn't divided (G1, S, G2)
G1 Phase Cells grow larger and begins to produce more
cytoplasm and organelles
S Phase "Synthesis" When DNA replicated and chromosomes
are duplicated
G2 Phase When cell is ready to enter division phase
Mitosis Segregation and separation of duplicated
chromosomes during cell division
(When the chromosomes are evenly divided
between TWO daughter cells
