- 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
