cell division, cell diversity and cell differentiation

?
cytoplasmic division following nuclear divisions resulting in two new daughter cells
cytokinesis
1 of 23
phase of cell cycle where the cell is not dividing; it is subdivided into growth and synthesis phases
interphase
2 of 23
type of nuclear division that produces daughter cells genetically identical to each and to the parent cell
mitosis
3 of 23
replicates of chromosomes
chromatids
4 of 23
division of the cytoplasm of a cell following mitosis
cytokinesis
5 of 23
type of nuclear division that maintains the chromosome number; each new daughter cell contains the same genetic information as the parent cell. they are also genetically identical to each other
mitosis
6 of 23
having only one set of chromosomes; represented by the symbol n
haploid
7 of 23
matching chromosomes containing the same genes at the same places (loci). they may contain different alleles for some of the genes
homologous chromosomes
8 of 23
type of nuclear division that results in the formation of cells containing half the number of chromosomes of the parent cell
meiosis
9 of 23
process by which stem cells become specialised into different types of cells
differentiation
10 of 23
cells that constitute lining tissue
epithelial cells
11 of 23
red blood cell
erythrocyte
12 of 23
type of white blood cell that is phagocytic (can ingest microbes and small particles)
neutrophil
13 of 23
unspecialised cell able to express all of its genes and divide by mitosis
stem cell
14 of 23
in leaf epidermis, cells that surround stomata
guard cells
15 of 23
closely packed photosynthesis cells within leaves
palisade cells
16 of 23
epidermal cells of young roots with long hair like projections
root hair cells
17 of 23
a group of cells that work together to perform a specific function
tissue
18 of 23
area of unspecialised cells within a plant that can divide and differentiate into other types of cells
meristem
19 of 23
collection of tissues working together to a perform a function
organ
20 of 23
tissue that carries products of photosynthesis in solution within plants
phloem
21 of 23
tissue that carries water and mineral ions from the roots to all parts of the plant
xylem
22 of 23
unspecialised cell able to express all of its genes and divide by mitosis
stem cell
23 of 23
