Crossword CPA #10 Flashcards
group of organisms that are chemotrophic, have cell walls, and do not perform photosynthesis
fungi
formed by microtubules and are used to pull chromosomes to opposite sides of the cell; originate from centrioles in the centrosome
spindle
these two make up the “x” shape of chromosomes during prophase and metaphase
sister chromatids
arachnids that are not disease vectors
spiders
ie sperm and eggs
gametes
acronym to remember the order of the phases your non-gamete cells must undergo during cell replication and division
I-PMAT-C
most important arachnid vector
ticks
resting stage of protozoa
cysts
includes arachnids and insects that can transmit disease to humans
arthropod vectors
holds two sister chromatids together to form a chromosome
centromere
most important arthropod and and insect disease carrier
mosquitos
type of eukaryotic division that results in gametes
mitosis
type of cells that form at the end of meiosis
haploid
can perform photosynthesis and usually live in the photic zone of bodies of water
algae
ie. chromosome 21 from mom and chromosome 21 from dad that are both inherited by child
homologous pair
study of algae
phycology
these are lined up side-by-side during metaphase of meiosis; aka a tetrad
homologous chromosome
ie. ticks, mites, etc; adults have 4 pairs of legs
arachninds
phase before mitosis or meiosis in which a cell grows and replicates their DNA in preparation to undergo mitosis or meiosis
interphase
many algae reproduce using this process; process results in haploid and diploid adults that can both reproduce to form gametes
alternation of generation
ie. an organism that can pass the disease to a human and is a host for the disease too
biological vector
phase of mitosis in which chromosomes line up in the center of the cell
metaphase
study of fungi
mycology
about 30% of fungi can cause these
mycoses
ie. fleas, lice, flies, mosquitos, etc; adults have 3 pairs of legs and 3 body regions
insects
phase of mitosis in which sister chromatids separate to opposite sides of the cell
anaphase
phase of mitosis in which chromatids become visible, nuclear envelope dissolves and spindle forms
prophase
type of eukaryotic division that results in a daughter cell that is identical to the parent cell
meiosis
phase that may occur after mitosis in which the cytoplasm divides and the cell physically separates into 2 cells
cytokinesis
can reproduce sexually, asexually, or both
eukaryotes
a group of microorganisms that are eukaryotic, unicellular, mostly lack a cell wall and are usually motile
protozoa
areas with centrioles in the cell; located on either side of the cell during mitosis and this is where the spindle comes out from
centrosome
condensed and compact chromosome form
chromatin
ie. an organism that can pass the disease to a human, but is NOT a host for the disease
mechanical vector
only occurs in meiosis; exchange of chromosome pieces that creates the variety of sperm/egg cells one individual can make
crossing over
motile feeding stage of protozoa
trophozoite
during prophase and metaphase of mitosis; these are “x” shaped because they are made of 2 attached sister chromatids, but during anaphase and telophase of mitosis these are still called the same term even though the 2 sister chromatids have separated
chromosomes
phase of mitosis in which the nuclear envelope reforms
telophase
type of cells that form at the end of mitosis
diploid
type of asexual reproduction where mitosis occurs several times without cytokinesis to create a multinucleate cell that then undergos cytokinesis to release several cells that only have one nucleus
schizogony
