●● mitosis
Answer: Cell's division (PMAT) of the nucleus. Final product is 2 cells
that are exactly like the parent cell.
●● chromatid
Answer: Each half of the chromosome
●● centromere
Answer: Area where the chromatids of a chromosome are attached
●● prophase
Answer: 1st stage of mitosis - Chromosomes become visable, nuclear
envelope dissolves, spindle forms
●● metaphase
Answer: 2nd phase of mitosis; chromosomes in the MIDDLE
, ●● anaphase
Answer: 3rd phase of mitosis; chromosomes move APART and AWAY
●● telophase
Answer: 4th phase of mitosis; TWO new nuclei
●● law of independent assortment
Answer: Mendel - random distribution of the pairs of genes on different
chromosomes to the gametes.
●● homologous chromosome
Answer: Chromosomes with matching information
●● gamete
Answer: A haploid cell such as an egg or sperm. Gametes unite during
sexual reproduction to produce a diploid zygote.
●● haploid
Answer: 1 set of chromosomes (half the "normal" number) GAMETES
●● diploid
Answer: 2 sets of chromosomes - the normal number -
