lab 5 Flashcards
how many chromosomes do humans have
46
Mitosis
outcome of single diploid cells two two diploid daughter cells which are clones
Meiosis
outcome of single diploid cell is four haploid gametes which are genetically different from each otherInterphase
Interphase
production of protein and replication of DNA
Prophase
each chromosome is composed of two identical copies attached to one another by a structure called a centromere
MAT
metaphase, anaphase, telophase, chromosomes go through an orderly sequence of movements to ultimately endow each of the two resulting daughter cells with the appropriate chromosome content
Anaphase
sister chromatids are pulled apart
Telophase
completes the nuclear division process
Cytokinesis
forms two daughter cells
Gametes
sex cells
Homologous chromosomes
separated by alignment of chrome’s in meiosis so that each cell receives one copy
