1
Prokaryote
A simple, unicellular organism that lacks a nucleus and membrane-bound organelles.
New cards
2
Binary Fission
A type of asexual reproduction in prokaryotes where the DNA is copied and the cell divides into two identical cells.
New cards
3
Chromosome
Rod-shaped structures made of DNA and protein.
New cards
4
Histone
A protein that helps maintain the shape of a chromosome and aids in packing DNA.
New cards
5
Chromatid
An identical half of a duplicated chromosome.
New cards
6
Centromere
The point where two chromatids are attached together in a chromosome.
New cards
7
Chromatin
Uncoiled DNA that is accessible for reading and directing cell activities.
New cards
8
Diploid
A cell that has two homologous chromosomes, represented as 2n.
New cards
9
Haploid
A cell that has one copy of chromosomes, represented as n.
New cards
10
Somatic Cells
Body cells that are diploid and contain two homologous chromosomes.
New cards
11
Gametes
Haploid reproductive cells (sperm and egg) involved in sexual reproduction.
New cards
12
Mitosis
A type of cell division that results in two identical daughter cells.
New cards
13
Meiosis
A type of cell division that reduces the chromosome number by half, forming gametes.
New cards
14
Interphase
The phase of the cell cycle where the cell grows and DNA is synthesized before division.
New cards
15
Prophase
The first phase of mitosis where the chromosomes condense and the nuclear envelope breaks down.
New cards
16
Metaphase
The phase of mitosis where chromosomes line up at the cell's equator.
New cards
17
Anaphase
The stage in mitosis where sister chromatids separate and move to opposite poles of the cell.
New cards
18
Telophase
The final phase of mitosis where the chromosomes reach opposite poles and the cell begins to divide.
New cards
19
Cytokinesis
The process during cell division where the cytoplasm divides, forming two daughter cells.
New cards
20
Crossing-over
The exchange of genetic material between homologous chromosomes during prophase I of meiosis.
New cards
21
Genetic Variation
Differences in DNA among individuals, which arise from recombination and independent assortment during meiosis.
