Worksheet Week 4 Daay 2

This document defines 30 key terms related to cell division and mitosis. It provides definitions for each term, including cell division, mitosis, cytokinesis, chromatid, centromere, interphase, cell cycle, prophase, centriole, spindle, metaphase, anaphase, telophase, cyclin, cancer, stem cell, homologous, diploid, haploid, meiosis, tetrad, crossing-over, autosome, genetic variation, polar body, gametes, zygote, spermatogenesis, spindle fibers, and daughter cell. The second part of the document instructs students to build a model of mitosis using common household items.

Week 4 day 2
I-Directions: Define 30 words that list in the vocabulary that are related in cell division.

1.cell division--The process by which a growing cell divides into two daughter cells.
2.mitosis--cell division in which the nucleus divides into nuclei containing the same number of
chromosomes
3. cytokinesis--division of the cytoplasm during cell division
4. chromatid--one of two identical strands into which a chromosome splits during mitosis

5. centromere--a specialized condensed region of each chromosome that appears during


mitosis where the chromatids are held together to form an X shape

6. interphase--the growth period of the cell cycle where it replicates its organelles and its DNA,
consisting of 3 phases, G1, S, G2

7. cell cycleseries of events that cells go through as they grow and divide

8. prophase--Chromosomes form, centrioles form and separate, spindle fibers form, nuclear
envelope breaks down
9.centriole--organelles that send out and organize the spindle fibers

10. spindle--a microtubule structure that helps separate the chromosomes.


11. metaphase--the chromosomes line up across the center of the cell and attach to the spindle
fibers
12. anaphase--spindle fibers pull chromosomes apart
13. telophase--chromosomes condense into a DNA tangle, and all separation equipment breaks
down
14. cyclin--a protein that regulates the cell division
15. cancer--cells that do not respond to cell regulators
16. stem cell--cell from which all other cells can be formed
17. homologous--term used to refer to chromosomes that each have a corresponding
chromosome from the opposite-sex parent
18. diploid--(genetics) an organism or cell having two sets of chromosomes or twice the haploid
number
19. haploid--(genetics) an organism or cell having only one complete set of chromosomes
20. meiosis--(genetics) cell division that produces reproductive cells in sexually reproducing
organisms

21. tetrad--structure containing 4 chromatids that forms during meiosis


22. crossing-over--process in which homologous chromosomes exchange portions of their
chromatids during meiosis
23. autosome---is any of the numbered chromosomes, as opposed to the sex chromosomes.
Humans have 22 pairs of autosomes and one pair of sex chromosomes (the X and Y).
Autosomes are numbered roughly in relation to their sizes.
24.Genetic variation-- refers to diversity in gene frequencies. Genetic variation can refer to
differences between individuals or to differences between populations.
25. polar body-- is a small haploid cell that is formed at the same time as an egg cell during
oogenesis, but generally does not have the ability to be fertilized.
26. Gametes-- are an organism's reproductive cells. They are also referred to as sex cells.
27. zygote--is a eukaryotic cell formed by a fertilization event between two gametes.
28.Spermatogenesis-- is the process by which haploid spermatozoa develop from germ cells in
the seminiferous tubules of the testis.
29.Spindle fibers--form a protein structure that divides the genetic material in a cell.
30. daughter cell. --Either of the two cells formed when a cell undergoes cell division by mitosis.
Daughter cells are genetically identical to the parent cell because they contain the same
number and type of chromosomes.
