What are the structures that carry genetic information in the form of genes, found in the nucleus of eukaryotic cells? Humans typically have 46, arranged in 23 pairs.
Chromosomes
homologous pair
What are chromosomes that have the same structure and gene sequence, one inherited from each parent, and align during meiosis?
What are the basic units of heredity that carry information for traits and are composed of DNA
Genes
multipotent
What is A type of stem cell that has the ability to differentiate into multiple cell types, but is more limited than pluripotent cells.
What is A process of reproduction that involves a single organism or cell dividing to produce offspring that are genetically identical to the parent. This method does not involve the fusion of gametes and can occur in various organisms
Asexual reproduction
Mitosis
What is the process of cell division that results in two identical daughter cells?
What molecule carries genetic instructions for the development, functioning, growth, and reproduction of all known living organisms?
DNA
What is the series of events that cells go through to grow and divide?
cell cycle
replication
Process of duplicating DNA before cell division.
differentiated cell
What type of cell has developed specific functions and characteristics?
pluripotent
what cells have the ability to differentiate into nearly any cell type in the body, except for those needed to support the growth of a fetus.
bone marrow
What is the primary site for blood cell production in the body?
enbryo
what is A developing organism in the early stages of growth, typically from fertilization until the end of the eighth week in humans.
Stem cell
what is A type of cell that has the unique ability to develop into many different cell types in the body. They can self-renew and differentiate into specialized cells, playing a crucial role in growth, repair, and regeneration of tissues.
