Unit Essential Questions:
Vocabulary
asexual reproduction ---
a type of reproduction in which a new organism is produced from one parent and has identical DNA
sexual reproduction ---
a type of reproduction in which two sex cells join to form a zygote, which develops into a unique organism
centrioles ---
cell organelle involved in the development of spindle fiber during cell reproduction
nuclear membrane ---
membrane “wall” around the nucleus of a cell
nucleus ---
an organelle that contain the heriditary information for the cell
spindle fibers ---
microtubule “strings” that move chromosomes during mitosis and meiosis
centromere ---
part of a chromosome that links sister chromatids
mitosis ---
asexual reproduction of a cell, when the nucleus divides to form two identical nuclei
meiosis ---
reproductive process the produces four haploid sex cells and accounts for diversity in offspring
diploid ---
cell whose chromosomes occur in pairs
haploid ---
cell that only has one type of chromosome
homologous ---
chromosomes that pairs up with each other inside a cell during meiosis with the same genes in the same place
egg ---
haploid sex cell found in female reproductive organs
sperm ---
haploid sex cell found in male reproductive organs
crossing over ---
exchange of segments of genes between homologous chromosomes during prophase I of meiosis
gene ---
section of DNA on a chromosome that has instructions for making proteins
sister chromatid ---
when a single chromosome is copied
gamete ---
sex cells (sperm or egg)
zygote ---
a new diploid cell formed when a sperm and egg come together
