Kinetochores
- CORRECT ANSWERS - protein structures located on the
centromeres that serve as attachment points for specific fibers of the
spindle apparatus (kinetochore fibers)
Kinetochores - CORRECT ANSWERS - protein structures located on
the centromeres that serve as attachment points for specific fibers of the
spindle apparatus (kinetochore fibers)
metastasis - CORRECT ANSWERS - distant spread of cancerous
cells through the bloodstream or lymphatic systems
metastasis
- CORRECT ANSWERS - distant spread of cancerous cells through
the bloodstream or lymphatic systems
Mitosis
- CORRECT ANSWERS - 2 identical cells created from a single cell
Mitosis
- CORRECT ANSWERS - 2 identical cells created from a single cell
,Cytokinesis
- CORRECT ANSWERS - splitting of cytoplasm and organelles into
2 daughter cells
Cytokinesis
- CORRECT ANSWERS - splitting of cytoplasm and organelles into 2
daughter cells
Haploid (n)
- CORRECT ANSWERS - cells that contain only 1 copy of each
chromosome
example-germ cells
Haploid (n)
- CORRECT ANSWERS - cells that contain only 1 copy of each
chromosome
example-germ cells
Diploid (2n)
- CORRECT ANSWERS - contain 2 copies of each chromosome
Diploid (2n)
- CORRECT ANSWERS - contain 2 copies of each chromosome
Prophase (mitosis)
- CORRECT ANSWERS - chromatin condenses into chromosomes
centriole pairs separate, move toward opposite sides of the cell, and
form spindle fibers made of microtubules
,the fibers radiate outward from the centrioles
nuclear membrane dissolves which allows spindle fibers to contact
chromosomes
Prophase (mitosis)
- CORRECT ANSWERS - chromatin condenses into chromosomes
centriole pairs separate, move toward opposite sides of the cell, and
form spindle fibers made of microtubules
the fibers radiate outward from the centrioles
nuclear membrane dissolves which allows spindle fibers to contact
chromosomes
Metaphase
- CORRECT ANSWERS - centriole pairs at opp. ends of cell
kinetochore fibers align chromosomes at the metaphase plate
(equatorial plate) which is equidistant b/w 2 poles of the cell
Metaphase
- CORRECT ANSWERS - centriole pairs at opp. ends of cell
kinetochore fibers align chromosomes at the metaphase plate
(equatorial plate) which is equidistant b/w 2 poles of the cell
Anaphase
- CORRECT ANSWERS - centromeres split
each sister chromatic has its own distinct centromere
they are pulled toward opp. poles of cell
sister chromatids separate
Anaphase
, - CORRECT ANSWERS - centromeres split
each sister chromatic has its own distinct centromere
they are pulled toward opp. poles of cell
sister chromatids separate
Telophase and Cytokinesis
- CORRECT ANSWERS - spindle apparatus disappears
nuclear membrane reforms around each set if chromosomes
nucleoli reappears
chromosomes uncoil
cytoplasm and organelles separate so that each daughter cell has
supplies to survive on its own (cytokinesis)
results in 2 identical daughter cells
Telophase and Cytokinesis
- CORRECT ANSWERS - spindle apparatus disappears
nuclear membrane reforms around each set if chromosomes
nucleoli reappears
chromosomes uncoil
cytoplasm and organelles separate so that each daughter cell has
supplies to survive on its own (cytokinesis)
results in 2 identical daughter cells
gametes
- CORRECT ANSWERS - non-identical sex cells
gametes
- CORRECT ANSWERS - non-identical sex cells
