Cytokinesis
Cytoplasmic divsion following nuclear divison, resulting in two new daughter cells
1 of 22
Mitosis
Type of nuclear divison that produces daughter cells genetically identical to each other and to the parent cell
2 of 22
Interphase
Phase of cell cycle where the cell is not dividing; it is subdivided into growth and synthesis phases
3 of 22
Chromatids
Replicates of chromosomes
4 of 22
Haploid
Having only one set of chromsomes; represented by the symbol 'n'
5 of 22
Homologous Chromosomes
Matching chromosomes, containing the same genes at the same places. They may contain different alleles for some of the genes
6 of 22
Meoisis
Type of nuclear divison that results in the formation of cells containing half the number of chromosomes of the parent cell
7 of 22
Differentiation
Process by which stem cells become specialisd into different types of cell
8 of 22
Epithelial Cell
Cells that constitute lining tissue
9 of 22
Erythrocyte
Red blood cell
10 of 22
Neutrophil
Type of white blood cell that is phagocytic
11 of 22
Stem Cell
Unspecialised cell able to express all of its genes and divide by mitosis
12 of 22
Guard Cells
In leaf epidermis, cells that surround stomata
13 of 22
Palisade Cells
Closely-packed photosynthetic cells within leaves
14 of 22
Root-Hair Cells
Epidermal cells of young roots with long hair-like projections
15 of 22
Tissue
Group of cells that work together to perform a specific function/ set of functions
16 of 22
Meristem
Area of unspecialised cells within a plant that can divide and differentiate into other cell types
17 of 22
Organ
Collection of tissues working together to perform a function/ related functions
18 of 22
Phloem
Tissue that carries products of photosynthesis, in solution, within plants
19 of 22
Xylem
Tissues that carries water and mineral ions from the roots to all parts of plant
20 of 22
Organ System
A number of organs working together to carry out an overall life function
21 of 22
