Biology Flashcards
What is prophase mitosis
chromosmes appear
nuclear membrane disappear
spindle form
Metaphase mitosis
chromosomes line up in a single line across the center of the cell
anophase mitosis
each pair of chromotides seperate at the centromere. Each chromotide, now chromosone moves to opposite side
telephase mitosis
nuclear membrane reforms
cytokines mitosis
cytoplasm divide; two daughter cells are produced
why is mitosis important
growth, repair, replace
why is meiosis important
sexual reproduction
produces sex cells
whats an allele
a version of a gene. You inherit one allele from each parent
homozygous
having two identical alleles for a trait
phenotype
having two different alleles for a trait
genotype
the combination of alleles for a particular trait
sex linked
when a gene is located on a sex chromosome
carrier
a person who is carrying a disease but doesnt have it
