16
Q

Interphase

A

longest part of cell cycle where cell grows and DNA replication occurs

17
Q

Prophase

A

chromosomes condense, centrioles move to cell ends, and nucleolus disintegrates

18
Q

Sister Chromatids

A

two parts of each chromosome connected by centromere

19
Q

Prometaphase

A

chromosomes move towards middle

20
Q

Metaphase

A

chromosomes line up at metaphase plate

21
Q

Cohesin

A

holds sister chromatids together

22
Q

Separase

A

degrade cohesion

23
Q

Shugoshin

A

prevents degradation of cohesion

24
Q

Anaphase

A

sister chromatids separate (disjunction) and move to poles

25
Q

Telophase

A

cytokinesis divides, chromosomes become chromatin again

26
Q

Kinases

A

enzyme products of mutated genes

27
Q

Cyclins

A

proteins that bind with kinases and activate them at appropriate times

28
Q

Crossing over

A

occurs in prophase I, increases genetic variation

29
Q

Synapsis

A

pairing of homologous chromosomes in prophase I

30
Q

Bivalent

A

each synapsed pair of homologs

31
Q

Terminal Chiasmata

A

hold non sister chromatids together

32
Q

Meiosis I

A

reductional division

33
Q

Meiosis II

A

equational division

34
Q

Spermatogenesis

A

spermatogonium cell to primary spermatocyte, meiotic division to two secondary spermatocyte, then to 4 spermatids

35
Q

Oogenesis

A

oogonium cell to primary oocyte, meiotic division to polar body and primary oocyte, then ootid and second polar body ( one egg )
