11.1 & 11.2 Flashcards
process of reproduction involving a single parent that result in offspring that are genetically identical to the parent
Asexual reproduction
pause of mitosis in which the chromosomes separate and move to opposite ends of the cell
Anaphase
division of the cytoplasm to form two separate daughter cells
Cytokinesis
period of the cell cycle between cell divisions
Interphase
Phase of mitosis in which the chromosomes line up across the center of the cell
Metaphase
part of eukaryotic cell division during which the cell nucleus divides
Mitosis
First and longest phase of mitosis in which the genetic material inside the nucleus condenses and the chromosomes become visible
Prophase
type of reproduction in which cells from two parents unite to form the first cell of a new organism
Sexual reproduction
Phase of mitosis in which the distinct individual chromosomes begin to spread out into a tangle of chromatin
Telophase
