Term
|
Definition
| Cell part that pulls chromosomes around the cell. |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| A cell that has two sets of chromosomes (one from each biological parent) |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| A cell that contains only one set of chromosomes (half the normal number) |
|

Term
|
Definition
| The life cycle of a cell that contains cell growth, cell part replication, and cell division. |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| Phase of cell cycle when the cell is growing and carrying out its purpose (ex: red blood cell carrying oxygen) |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| Phase of cell cycle in which chromosomes are visable; nucleus breaks down, spindles form |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| A pair of chromosomes that have the same genes for the same traits; you get one from each biological parent |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| Phase of cell cycle in which chromosomes line up down the middle of the cell along the spindles |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| Phase of cell cycle in which sister chromatids are pulled apart. |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| Phase of cell cycle in which two nuclear membranes form around the chromosomes |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| Final stage of cell cycle in which the cell divides down the middle creating two new cells. |

|
Definition
| Cell part that produces spindles (like spider man waiting until his webs are needed) |
|
|
Term
|
