This is when an organism produces offspring. This is a characteristic of all life. There are two types of this: asexual and sexual.
Back
Metaphase
Front
The is between the prometaphase and anaphase. The chromosomes align in the middle of the cell. The nuclear membrane still has not reformed.
Back
Eukaryote
Front
This has multiple cells. These cells have a nucleus. These cells can also have organelles that perform different functions. These cells are found in plants and animals.
Back
Prometaphase
Front
This is between the prophase and metaphase, hence the name. The nuclear membrane breaks apart. Along with this, the spindle begins to interact with the duplicated chromosomes.
Back
Meiosis
Front
This type of cell division is a type of sexual reproduction. The nucleus divides and produces gametes. It is similar to mitosis.
Back
Cytokinesis
Front
The is the final stage of mitosis. This is when the parent cell splits into two daughter cells. Each cell has identical genetics to the parent cell unless a genetic mutation has taken place.
Back
Interphase
Front
This is the period before mitosis in the cell cycle. It is when the cell performs its necessary function in an organism. It is also when the cells duplicates its DNA. However, the chromosomes stay attached to each other.
Back
Anaphase
Front
This is between the metaphase and telophase in the cell cycle. It is when the duplicated chromosomes move to opposite sides of the cell. Each side has identical genetics.
Back
Telophase
Front
This is between the anaphase and cytokinesis. This is when nuclear membranes form around the sets of chromosomes. These will be the nuclei of the newly formed cells. The spindle begins to break apart as well.
Back
Chromosome
Front
This is a structure made of DNA. It is located in the nucleus of cells. It makes up the unique genetic code that makes every organism unique.
Back
Prophase
Front
This is when mitosis begins in the cell cycle. It is when the spindle forms in the cytoplasm. It is also when the chromosomes split.
Back
Gamete
Front
This is an cell that comes from meiosis. There are two types: sperm and egg. Both are required for sexual reproduction.
Back
Homeostasis
Front
This is a regulation of internal systems based on stimuli. Regardless of outside conditions, the organism will maintain internal stability. An example is how a human would sweat in high temperatures.
Back
Prokaryote
Front
This is a single-celled organism. These don't have a nucleus. These include Archaea and Bacteria.
Back
Mitosis
Front
This is a way that single-called organisms reproduce, as well as the way that cells divide. This produces two daughter cells. These cells have identical genetics.
