Mitosis vocab review

Mitosis Vacab
Below is a diagram listing most of the important vocabulary words we have learned so far. Many of these words begin with the letter "c" and/or sound very similar to one another. To be successful in this unit it is essential that you can identify these words (in a cell diagram) and define these words.

Match the vocabulary word with its definition AND the image that it best describes. HINT: Each vocabulary word will have one definition and one picture. There are no repeats!

DNA loosely coiled around histone proteins; the structure of genetic material in the nucleus during interphase
The area where the chromatids of a chromosome are attached
Describes a cell that contains half of a set of genes because it only has a single set of chromosomes
A photograph of chromosomes grouped in pairs; It can allow us to determine a person's sex and if they have any extra or missing chromosomes
One of two identical "sister" parts of a duplicated chromosome
String-like structures called microtubules that help move and seperate the chromosomes during mitosis
DNA tightly coiled around histone proteins; these are easy to move and only visible during mitosis
Term used to refer to chromosomes that each have a corresponding chromosome from the opposite-sex parent
The cell part located in the cytoplasm of animal cells that produces spindle fibers during mitosis
Describes a cell that contains a full set of genetic information; the pairs of chromosomes are called homologous chromosomes because their size, shape, and genes are the same
