1.
Allel: different version of the same gene
2.
Anchorage dependence: in order for a cell to divide it has to be touching some solid surface
3.
Asexual: Without the use of gametes, they are identical
4.
binary fission: is asexual reproduction where a parent organism divides into two genetically identical individuals of about equal size
5.
Centromere: is a narrow waist where the chromatids join
6.
Chromatin: DNA in its loose state
7.
Cytokinesis: occurs during the mitotic phase, where the rest of the cell splits
8.
cytokinesis in animals: a cleavage occurs
9.
cytokinesis in plants: cell plates form
10.
Density-dependent inhibition: cells divide tell they are packed together
11.
Diploid: are cells that have a full set of chromosomes
12.
G0: permanent non dividing cell stage
13.
G1: grow larger, metabolically active, rapidly making protein
14.
G2: Organelles replicate, makes enzymes for mitosis
15.
Gametes: sperm and eggs only 23 chromosomes each
16.
Growth Factor: a chemical or substance that tells a cell to grow and divide
17.
Haploid: a cell with half of the original number of chromosomes
18.
Independent Orientation: Homologous chromosomes can align in any direction
19.
Interphase: takes up the majority of the cell cycle, but no cells divide, used for the cell to get bigger, and the chromatid and organelles duplicate
20.
Karyotypes: an ordered display of magnified images of individual's chromosomes arranged in homologous pairs
21.
loci: is the same place in homologous chomosomes
22.
metastasize: move to different areas
23.
Mitosis: A single parent cell reproduces to make 2 identical daughter cells
24.
Mitosis: division of the nucleus
25.
Mitotic Phase: cell divides
26.
S: DNA Replication
27.
Sexual: With an union of gametes, do not get identical off spring
28.
The Cell Cycle: An ordered sequence of events from the cell's formation to division
29.
Tisomy 21: if you have 3 chromosomes at 21 you will have down syndrom
30.
Zygote: the result of fertilization
