Gamete Sex cells (egg or sperm) Binary Fission asexual reproduction that produces identical offspring Chromosome: DNA and associated proteins. Becomes visible during cell division. Chromatid: 2 per chromosome. Homologous Chromosome: Chromosomes with similar size, shape, and genetic content. Diploid: 2 pairs of chromosomes. Haploid: 1 pair of chromosomes Zygote: Fertilized egg. Autosome: Chromosome that do not play a part in determining the sex of an individual Sex Chromosome: Chromosomes that determine the sex of an individual. Karyotype: picture of chromosomes. Cell Cycle: a repeating process that details how cells grow and divide. Interphase: The longest phase of the cell cycle (90% of the time). Made up of G1, S, G2 Mitosis: The process through which the the nucleus and its contents are divided. Cytokinesis: The process through which the cytoplasm and organelles are divided. Spindle: A long strand of microtubules used to move chromosomes during cell division. Prophase: First phase of mitosis. DNA condenses into chromosomes, nucleus breaks down, spindles begin to form. Metaphase: Second phase of mitosis. Chromosomes line up in the center of the cell, spindles are attached. Anaphase: Third phase of mitosis. Chromosomes are pulled to opposite ends of the cell. Telophase: Final stage of mitosis. New nuclei are formed, each cell has a complete set of chromosomes.
