Definitions for Cell Continuity
Term
Definition
Anaphase
Stage of mitosis where spindle fibres contract pulling sister
chromatids to opposite sides of the cell.
Cancer
any malignant growth or tumor caused by abnormal and
uncontrolled cell division
The way in which cells arise from other cells in order to grow and
survive from one generation to the next.
Cell continuity
Gamete
Cell Cycle
Diploid
Haploid
Telophase
Homologous chromosomes
Meiosis
Sex cell
The period of time during which a cell divides, replicates its DNA,
makes proteins and begins dividing again.
Twice the basic set of chromosomes, represented by (2n).
The basic set of chromosomes, represented by the letter (n).
the final stage of meiosis when the chromosomes move toward
opposite ends of the nuclear spindle and the cell divides into two
new cells
Chromosome pairs that carry the same genes coding for the same
traits
Form of cell division where one cell divides into four with each new
daughter cell containing half the number of chromosomes as the
parent cell.
Metaphase
Stage of mitosis where sister chromatids line up along the equator of
the cell.
Mitosis
Fom of cell division where one cell divides in two with each new
daughter cell containing the same number of chromosomes as the
parent cell.
Stage of mitosis where chromatin shorten and can be seen as
individual chromosomes.
Any difference between individuals of the same species
