Unit 3 Bio Flashcards
Allele
Different forms of a gene
Asexual reproduction
A reproductive process where one parent produces offspring identical to the parent
Binary fission
Form of aesexual reproduction where one cell divides into two cells
Cell cycle
Order in which cells go through as they grow and divide
Cell plate
Forms during cell division and divides a cell in two
Cleavage furrow
The area of the cell membrane separates the dividing cells
Crossing over
Exchange of genetic material between homologous chromosomes
Cytokinesis
Division of cytoplasm
Diploid
A cell having two complete sets of chromosomes
Gamete
Sex cell
Haploid
A cell only having one complete set of chromosomes
Homologous
Term which refers to chromosomes that each have a corresponding chronometer from the opposite sex parent
Interphase
Phase in cell cycle where cells grow
Meiosis
Cell division that results in daughter cells with half the number of chromosomes as the parent
Mitosis
Cell division where nucleus divides into nuclei containing the same number of chromosomes
Segregation
Separation of alleles during gamete formation
Sexual reproduction
Type of reproduction in which cells from two patents unite to form the first cell of a new organism
Spore
Reproductive body of an organism
