Document Summary

Cell cycle: the sequence of events during which a cell experiences a period of growth followed by nuclear division and cytokinesis. Mitosis: nuclear division that produces daughter nuclei that are exact genetic copes of the paternal nucleus. Meiosis: the division of diploid cells to haploid progeny, consisting of two sequential rounds of nuclear and cell division. Chromosome: the nuclear unit of genetic information, consisting of a dna molecule and associated proteins. Ploidy: the number of chromosome sets of a cell or species. Haploid: an organism or cell with only one copy of each type of chromosome in its nuclei. Diploid: an organism or cell with two copes of each chromosome in its nucleus. Chromatid (and sister chromatids): one half of a replicated chromosome. Each chromatid is one double helix of dna. Chromosome segregation: the equal distribution of daughter chromosomes to each of the two cells that result from cell division.
