chromosomea eukaryotic cell, one of the structures in the nucleus that are made up of DNA and protein; in a prokaryotic cell, the main ring of DNA.

The material that makes up both mitotic and interphase chromosome, a complex of protien and DNA strands that are loosely coiled such that traslation and transcription can occur.

a type of protein molecule found in the chromosome of eukaryotic cells but not prokaryotic cell

a period between two mitotic or meiotic division during which the cell grows, copies its DNA, and synthesizes proteins

a phase of mitosis and meiosis in which the chromosomes separarte.

histonea type of protein molecule found in the chromosomes of eukaryotic cells but not prokaryotic cells.

any chromsome that is not a sex chromosome

a form of asexual reproduction in single celled organisms by which one cell divides into two cells of the same size.

the division of the cytoplasma of a cell;cytokinesis follows the division of the cells nucleus by mitosis or meiosis

the final stage of mitosis or meiosis, during which a nuclear membrane forms around each set of new chromosomes.

of the two strands of a chomosome that become visible during meiosis or mitosis.

chromosomes that have the same sequence of genes, that have the same structure, and that pair during meiosis

in eukaryotic cells, a process of cell division that forms two new nuclei,each of which has the same number of chromosomes.

the first stage of mitosis and meiosis in cell division; characterized by the condensation of the chromosomes and the dissolution of the nuclear envelope.

the precursor of a new plant cell wall that forms during cell division and divides a cell into two.

centromereWhat is the region of the chromosome that holds the two sister chromatids together during mitosis.

describes a cell, nucleus, or ogranism that has only one set of unpaired chromosomes

a process in cell division during which the number of chromosomes decreases to half the original number by the two divisions of the nucleus, which results in the production of sex cells.

one of the microtubules that extend across a dividing eukaryotic cell; assists in the movement of chromosomes.

the pairing of homologous chromosomes during meiosis.

diploidcell that contains two haploid sets of chromosomes.

the pairing of homologous chromosomes during meiosis

a haploid reproductive cell that unites with another haploid reproductive cell to form a zygote.

one of the stages of mitosis and meiosis, during which all of the chromosomes move to the cells equator.

the four chromatids in a pair of homologous chromosomes that come together as a result of synapsis during meiosis.
