Cell Cycle - 🧠ANSWER ✔✔An ordered sequence of events in the life of a
cell
Mitosis - 🧠ANSWER ✔✔A process of nuclear division in eukaryotic cells
conventionally divided into five stages: prophase, prometaphase,
metaphase, anaphase, and telophase. Mitosis conserves chromosome
number by allocating replicated chromosomes equally to each of the
daughter nuclei.
Cytokinesis - 🧠ANSWER ✔✔The division of the cytoplasm to form two
separate daughter cells immediately after mitosis, meiosis I, or meiosis II.
Cell Division - 🧠ANSWER ✔✔The reproduction of cells
Chromosomes - 🧠ANSWER ✔✔A cellular structure carrying genetic
material, found in the nucleus of eukaryotic cells. Each chromosome
consists of one very long DNA molecule and associated proteins

, Chromatin - 🧠ANSWER ✔✔The complex of DNA and proteins that makes
up eukaryotic chromosomes. When the cell is not dividing, chromatin exists
in its dispersed form, as a mass of very long, thin fibers that are not visible
with a light microscope
Somatic Cells - 🧠ANSWER ✔✔Any cell in a multicellular organism except a
sperm or egg or their precursors.
Gametes - 🧠ANSWER ✔✔A haploid reproductive cell, such as an egg or
sperm. Gametes unite during sexual reproduction to produce a diploid
zygote.
Sister Chromatids - 🧠ANSWER ✔✔Two copies of a duplicated
chromosome attached to each other by proteis at the centromere and
sometimes, along the arms. While joined, two sister chromatids make up
one chromosome. Chromatids are eventually separated during mitosis or
meiosis II
Centromere - 🧠ANSWER ✔✔In a duplicated chromosome, the region on
each sister chromatid where they are most closely attached to each other
by proteins that bind to specific DNA sequences; this close attachment
causes a constriction in the condensed chromosome. (An uncondensed,
