Pairs of chromatids (chromosomes in a dividing cell) The dividing of the cytoplasm of the cell into two are held together by this. Used to attach chromatids / during telophase of mitosis. chromosomes to spindle during metaphase of cell divisions. centromere cleavage The cells produced as a result of dividing by mitosis. Every organism has a fixed number of chromosomes. If they occur in pairs (homologous pairs) the organism is said to be ..., i.e. two sets of chromosomes one set – received from the father and one set from the mother at fertilisation, e.g. human 2n = 46, mouse 2n = 40, fruit fly 2n = 8. OR it can be describes as double the number of chromosomes found in gametes. daughter diploid A method of asexual reproduction where a cell or Any cell which must fuse with another cell in order to organism divides into two or more parts, e.g. binary ... produce a new individual. Is a haploid reproductive cell, i.e. contains half the required genetic information for the formation of a new individual or half the somatic number of chromosomes (in humans = 23), e.g. sperm cell, egg. fission gamete Having one of each of the pairs of chromosomes A preparatory stage before or a resting stage after characteristic for a species. mitosis or meiosis. It is followed by prophase. OR Half the somatic number of chromosomes. OR A single set of unpaired chromosomes. interphase haploid
