reproduction Flashcards
smallest structure in an organism
cell
where are germ cells found
reproductive organs
what structure becomes tightly packed during cell division?
chromosones
what is a chromosone made up of
dna
interphase
chromosones replicate themselfs
telophase
2 daughter cells form
anaphase
cell elongates and chromosones move toward poles
metaphase
chromosones line in the middle
procces where chromosones line up and exchange genetics in the middle
crossing over
when meiosis 2 begins how many daughter cells are there
2
what things happpend in mitosis
body cells divide- one stage of divisiion-creates 2 diploid cells-identical to parent cell-no genetic diversity
what do meiosis and mitosis have in commen
a type of cell division- replicates DNA- creates new cells
what things happen is meiosis?
sex cells divide-2 stages-4 haploid cells-different then parent cell- creates genetic diversity
what is a cell?
some contains nucleus but all contain genetic material for reproduction
what is DNA?
deoxyribonucleic acid- hereditary material found in almost all living things
