Biology Text

A series of events from the time a cell forms until its cytoplasm divides

Chromosomes with the same length shape and set of genes

IN a eukaryotic cell cycle teh interval between mitotic divisions when cell grows, roughly doubles the numer of its cytoplasmic components and replicates DNA

Nuclear divisoin mechanism that maintains teh chromosomes number. Basis of body growth and tissue repair in multi celled eukaryotes; also asuexual reporduction in some plants, animals, fungi and protists

in a dividing animal cell the indentation where cytoplasmic division will occur

forms of a gene that encolde slightly different versions of the gene's product

Fusion of two gametes to form a zygote

Mature, haploid repoductive cell that gives rise to haploid gametes by meiosis

Diploid repoductive cell that gives rise to haploid gametes by meiosis

having one of each type of chomosomes characteristic of the species

Nuclear division process that halves the chromosome numer. Basis of sexual reproduction

relating to the body

cell formed by the fusion of two gametes; the first cell of a new individual.
