deoxyribonucleic acid

The longest‐lasting phase of the cell cycle in which a cell performs the majority of its functions and copies its DNA

compacted DNA wrapped around proteins

part of eukaryotic cell division during which the cell nucleus divides; creates 2 identical cells with diploid chromosomes

series of events in which a cell grows, prepares for division, and divides to form two daughter cells

division of the cytoplasm to form two separate daughter cells

Pair of chromosomes that are the same size, same appearance and same genes.

a type of cell division that results in four daughter cells each with half the number of chromosomes of the parent cell, as in the production of gametes

specialized cell involved in sexual reproduction, sperm or egg

having a 'half-set' of unpaired chromosomes

containing a complete sets of chromosomes, one from each parent completing homologues pairs

"loose" DNA and proteins that is present during interphase

Each half of the copied chromosome; attached at the center

interphase, prophase, metaphase, anaphase, telophase, cytokinesis (I-PMAT-C)

interphase, prophase 1, metaphase 1, anaphase 1, telophase 1, cytokinesis 1, prophase 2, metaphase 2, anaphase 2, telophase 2, cytokinesis 2 (I-PMAT-C-PMAT-C)
