Part 3 Flashcards
Cells that have 2 copies of each chromosome?
Diploid or 2n
Type of cell division used by organisms to grow bigger,repair injuries, and replace worn out cells.
Mitosis
Type of division seen in bacteria?
Binary fission
Type of nuclear division that produces 2 daughter cells that are genetically identical to the parent cell?
Mitosis
Type of nuclear division that produces four daughter cells that have 1/2 the number of chromosomes as the parent cell?
Meiosis
Cells that have only one copy of each chromosome?
Haploid or 1n
Relating sequence of events that cells go through during their lifetime?
Cell cycle
The type of reproduction that involves the union of gametes and combines genetic material from 2 parents?
Sexual reproduction
2 identical arms that make up a chromosome?
Chromatids
DNA that is spread out in the nucleus of a non-dividing?
Chromatin
Reproductive cells like sperm or eggs?
Gametes
Pairing up of homologous chromosomes during prophase 1 of meiosis?
Synapsis
The exchange of genetic material between homologous chromosomes?
Crossing over
The pair of homologous chromosomes that forms during synapsis?
Tetard
Type of cell division used to reproduce gametes?
Meiosis
The type of reproduction that uses the genetic material from only 1 parent?
Asexual reproduction
Makes 2 daughter cells
Mitosis
Makes haploid cells
Meiosis
Divides twice but copies DNA once
Meiosis
Used to repair injuries
Mitosis
Makes 4 daughter cells
Meiosis
Makes diploid cells
Mitosis
Copies DNA every time it divides
Mitosis
Used to make gametes
Meiosis
Make 2n cells
Mitosis
Crossing over happens
Meiosis
Used when organisms grow bigger
Mitosis
Used in sexual reproduction
Meiosis
Testes and ovaries do it
Meiosis
Divides twice in a row
Meiosis
Process in which the genetic code of DNA is copied into a strand of RNA?
Transcription
Three sequential nucleotides in an mRNA molecule that code for a specific amino acid?
Codon
Organism without a nucleus?
Prokaryote
Process of making a DNA copy?

______ are changes in the genetic material.
Mutations
Something that can cause mutations?
Mistakes in copying DNA, Radiation, Chemicals in environment.
