cell division process by which a cell makes new daughter cells
cancer uncontrolled cell growth
mitosis division of the nucleus
cytokinesis division of the cytoplasm
cell division mitosis + cytokinesis
chromosome structures in cell that contain the genes
chromatin spread out material that composes the chromosome
chromatids identical parts of a chromosome during cell division
centromere part that attaches sister chromatids during cell division
cell cycle time span from one mitosis to the next
interphase between cell divisions when normal cell events occur
G1 cell growth and development occur in this stage
S synthesis phase when DNA is replicated
G2 stage when materials are prepared for cell division
M mitosis phase of cell cycle
prophase many preparatory events for mitosis occur in this phase
centriole part that migrates to opposite sides of nucleus during mitosis
spindle part that seems to move chromosomes apart during mitosis
metaphase phase in which chromosomes line up in middle of cell
anaphase phase in which sister chromatids separate during mitosis
telophase phase in which nucleus reforms during mitosis
homologous chromthe pairs of chromosomes in a cell
diploid number shown by 2n - the double number of chromosomes
monoploid numbershown by n - half of the diploid number of chromosomes (monoploid)
gamete sex cell; usually produced by meiosis
meiosis cell division in which the chromosome number is halved
synapsis close pairing of homologous chromosomes during meiosis
crossing over exchange of peices of genetic material during synapsis
gametogenesis the making of sex cells
spermatogenesis the making of sperm cells in the testes
oogenesis the making of egg cells in the ovaries
