|
Genome
|
Complete collection of that organisms genetic information
|
|
Chromosomses
|
Structural unit coinatining part or all of an organisms genome, consisiting of DNA and its associated proteins (chromatin)
|
|
Chromatin
|
Molecular conmplex, composed DNA and asscoiated proteins, that makes up the chromosomes of eukaryotic cells
|
|
Chromatid
|
One of two identical strands of chromatin that make up a chromosome in its duplicated state
|
|
Homologous Chromosomes
|
Chromosomes that are the same in function and hence size.
|
|
Mitosis
|
Seperation of a cells duplicated chromosmes prior to cytokinesis
|
|
Cytokinesis
|
Physical seperation of one cell into 2 daughte cells
|
|
Cell cycle
|
The repeating pattern of growth,genetic duplication, and division seen in most cells.
|
|
Interphase
|
Portion of the cell cycle in which the cell simultaneously carries out its work and, in prepartion for divison, duplicates its chromosomes.
|
|
Mitotic Phase
|
Portion of the cell cycle that includes both mitosis and cytokinesis
|
|
Centrosome
|
A cellular structure that acts as an organizing center for the assembky of microtubules
|
|
Metaphase plate
|
Plane located between the poles of a dividing cell
|
|
Mititic Spindle
|
The microtubules active in cell division, including those that align and move the chromosomes
|
|
Prophase
|
Mitosis begins. Chromosomes take shape; the 2 centrosomes begin to move toward the cellular poles, sprouting microtubules as they go
|
|
Metaphase
|
Attachemnt and alighnment. Microtubules attach to sister chromatids and align the metaphase plate
|
