1.
- The first stage of mitosis where chromosomes condense and become visible.
2.
- Protein complexes that hold sister chromatids together.
3.
Over - The exchange of genetic material between homologous chromosomes during meiosis.
4.
- The pairing of homologous chromosomes during meiosis.
5.
- The failure of chromosomes to separate properly during cell division.
6.
Spindle - The structure composed of microtubules that separates chromosomes during mitosis.
7.
- A type of cell division that reduces the chromosome number by half, creating four haploid cells.
8.
- A chemotherapy drug that stabilizes microtubules, preventing cell division.
9.
- A condition where an individual has cells with different genetic makeups due to nondisjunction.
10.
- The phase of the cell cycle where the cell grows and DNA is replicated.
11.
- The stage of mitosis where sister chromatids are pulled apart to opposite poles.
12.
- The process of cytoplasmic division that follows mitosis, resulting in two daughter cells.
13.
- The organelle that serves as the main microtubule organizing center and is crucial for the formation of the mitotic spindle.
14.
- Components of the cytoskeleton that play a key role in chromosome separation during mitosis.
15.
- The two identical halves of a duplicated chromosome, connected by a centromere.
16.
- The final stage of mitosis where chromosomes arrive at opposite poles and begin to decondense.
17.
- Protein complexes involved in the condensation of chromosomes during mitosis and meiosis.
