BIOLOGY REPRODUCTION Flashcards
Asexual reproduction
Cloning reproduction
Sexual reproduction
Male and female mate
Cell cycle
Series of events cells go through as they grow and divide
Diploid
2 complete sets of chromosomes in an organism’s cell, which each parent contributes to a chromosome to each pair
Haploid
Presence of a single set of chromosomes in an organism’s cell
Gametes
Reproductive cell of animal or plant
Interphase
Stage of cell cycle that occurs before mitosis
Mitosis
Process which cells divide
4 stages of mitosis
Prophase
Metaphase
Anaphase
Telophase
Prophase
Chromosomes become visible as tightly coiled threadlike structures
Metaphase
Individual chromosomes are spread out in the cell nucleus. Nucleus dissolve and cell chromosomes condense and move together
Anaphase
Chromosomes move from center towards opposite ends of a dividing cell
Telophase
Chromosomes move in opposite directions so 2 new cells can be formed
Chromosome / Chromatin
Structure found inside the nucleus of a cell
Sister chromatids
Duplicated copies of a single chromosome that are attached to each other and are identical
