  • Cell Cycle

    A covered series of growth and division a eukaryote cell goes through.

  • G1 Phase

    The first major phase of the eukaryote cell cycle.

  • S Phase

    The period during the cell cycle when DNA is replicated.

  • G2 Phase

    The third and final subphase of interphase.

  • Interphase

    The longest stage of the cell cycle.

  • Homologous Chromosomes

    A matched pair of chromosomes.

  • M Phase

    Where the cell divides.

  • Cytokinesis

    The physical process of cell division where the cytoplasm divides and nuclei separate.

  • Asexual Reproduction

    Reproduction without the involvement of sex cells.

  • Prophase

    The initial phase of mitosis where the cell prepares to divide.

  • Metaphase

    The stage during mitosis when chromosomes line up in the middle of the cell.

  • Anaphase

    When duplicated chromosomes separate and move to opposite poles.

  • Telophase

    The final stage of mitosis where the cell begins to split.

  • Spindle Fibers

    Structures that help separate chromosomes during mitosis.

  • Chromosome

    A threadlike structure made of nucleic acids and protein carrying genetic information.

  • Chromatid

    One of two identical halves of a duplicated chromosome.

  • Cell Plate

    Structure that forms during cytokinesis in plant cells to separate the two new cells.

  • Cleavage Furrow

    The indentation that begins the process of cleavage in animal cells.

  • Cancer

    A group of diseases involving uncontrolled cell growth.

  • Oncogene

    A mutated or overactive gene that has the potential to cause normal cells to become cancerous.

  • Sexual Reproduction

    A biological process where two gametes fuse to form a new organism.

  • Meiosis

    A type of cell division that reduces the chromosome number by half, producing four gamete cells.

  • Allele

    Different forms of a gene located at the same position on homologous chromosomes.

  • Fertilization

    The fusion of male and female gametes to form a zygote.

  • Gamete

    A sex cell, such as sperm or egg, that contains half the number of chromosomes.

  • Haploid

    A cell with one set of chromosomes (\(n\)).

  • Diploid

    A cell with two sets of chromosomes (\(2n\)).

  • Somatic

    A body cell containing a full set of chromosomes.

  • Zygote

    The first cell formed by the fusion of two gametes.

  • Crossing Over

    The exchange of genetic material between homologous chromosomes during meiosis.

  • Nondisjunction

    Failure of chromosome pairs to separate properly during cell division.

  • Trisomy

    The presence of three copies of a chromosome instead of two.

  • Monosomy

    The presence of only one copy of a chromosome instead of two.
