Column B
Column B
A.)each of the two threadlike strands into which a chromosome divides longitudinally during cell division. Each contains a double helix of DNA.
B.)a minute cylindrical organelle near the nucleus in animal cells, occurring in pairs and involved in the development of spindle fibers in cell division.
C.)a type of cell division that results in four daughter cells each with half the number of chromosomes of the parent cell, as in the production of gametes and plant spores.
D.)the region of a chromosome to which the microtubules of the spindle attach, via the kinetochore, during cell division.
E.)the final phase of cell division, between anaphase and interphase, in which the chromatids or chromosomes move to opposite ends of the cell and two nuclei are formed.
F.)sex cells, or reproductive cells or sperm and eggs
G.)the material of which the chromosomes of organisms other than bacteria (i. e., eukaryotes) are composed. It consists of protein, RNA, and DNA.
H.)cells that have have a full set of chromosomes, paired. Body cells have this characteristic
I.)cells that have half the normal number of - unpaired chromosomes.
J.)a fertilized cell with a full set of chromosomes
K.)any cells of a living organism other than the reproductive cells. These cells are diploid meaning they have two copies of each chromosome
L.)the first stage of cell division, before metaphase, during which the chromosomes become visible as paired chromatids and the nuclear envelope disappears. The first prophase of meiosis includes the reduction division.
M.)at the end of cell division, cytoplasm and cell organelles are equally divided between each of the new cells
N.)the stage of meiotic or mitotic cell division in which the chromosomes move away from one another to opposite poles of the spindle.
O.)cell division in which a body cell makes an exact copy of itself resulting in two identical daughter cells
P.)the second stage of cell division, between prophase and anaphase, during which the chromosomes become attached to the spindle fibers.
